Big Jack

So i get an e-mail from a friend last night while at work. Seems they had another banner year on their annual FLA adventures. Of course work dictated a sabatical from fishing the saline this year & as luck would have it they even had shots at 100-120 'Poon regularily...figures

Of all the species of Salt critters I've chucked a fly at Jack Crevalle rank as my favourite. Aggresive feeding machines by nature, they hit hard & a 5Lb'er will double a #9Wt to 90 Deg nicely.

I'm gonna guess this slab is bordering on 20Lbs or so...All I can say is holy fugg stains that's a brute !

Soon

Checked the local haunt this morn for the King action. Boats are closer in, colder nights and precip in the forcast should bode well in the next week or so.

Gotta love the aggresive nature of a Chrome/Semi-Chrome 'Nooks under a slip-float with a gob o skein. One second the rig is top-side, the next it's dropped and racing for open water. Besides you can get into some Slabs with regularity..



Soon..

Hidden Gem

Every once-in-awhile you find a Gem amongst a sea of crap. Such wa sthe case this past week when an E-Bay auction showed up finally.

I consider myself pretty down with my 'Pin knowledge & lore within the Great Lakes Region. I had heard the rumours of this gem, but seemed to miss one of these every time they came up.

So when i placed a bid on this on E-Bay and won i was delighted to say the least. After finally getting some time to give this reel the attention it required, I'm pretty stoked about it. Shyte I hardly even removed all the previous Mojo that it was caked in... Decent start-up & NO wobbles it should bode well on a new 6126-4 Z-Axis blank I just ordered, given it's 4-3/8" size

Few more week/s and the Kings should be in...time to break out the 3113 and get down & dirty "Poon" style w/some Chrome 'Nooks...

'Till then..

Seriously..

Much could be said about the etiquette/respect proper or lack thereof in our particular 'lil sub-culture of 'Pin'ers. Especially when making purchases within said community.

However, the "Voluntary Beatdown Faction shows ya hows it's done proper. No fuss or big deal.. It's just done..Read on..

how-to-sell-some-shit-and-get-respect

See now that shitz is what's lacking in this 'lil so called community these days. A 'lil touch of class can go along way to establishing yourself as a "Class A" 'Pinner thru & thru... Something that is sorely lacking these days...

As you can surmise I was givin the dirty on a recent purchase, that was, well...sub-par to say the least...The above article just reminded me of this past deal & how easily some people can ruin an already decent reputation in the mere blink of an eye, by not following thru on their plans..

Yes, I'm a lil bent about it... Then again, I expect alot during a deal, as I give it my full attention until all is said n done (just the way it is)

Honestly people get your stink sorted out before you list or email about an item being sold not after the greens have changed hands!

S'all I'm saying...
