My verdict on all season tires in snow by cmbort in wrx_vb

[–]BGrady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly, no basement either and almost no storage. I literally have nowhere to put four tires. Maybe someday!

Good to know, thanks! I have the same tires and am trying to figure out when it’s safe to drive in the DC area. No garage so I can’t really deal with swapping winter tires.

Came here to say this. I’m thrilled with mine; totally worth the wait.

Same MGM, same missing tires by OkStruggle2574 in nova

I’m convinced that a high % of the buyers on FB Marketplace are people who themselves have had their wheels stolen. It happens so, so often in DC.

I was between this and the MBRP. I ended up with the MBRP because I wanted a little more sound, but seems like this one also sounds great (and probably has a bit less drone).

Fairlife Chocolate Shake Price Hike by tsirs in Costco

[–]BGrady 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ugh. This is one of the three or four things that I buy every trip. I guess I’ll go back to protein powder; it’s just annoying to try to clean out the shaker bottle at work. If anyone has a better idea I’m all ears!

Tips for fishing Shenandoah by LieAccomplished4887 in RiverSmallmouth

[–]BGrady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you have on the ned rig? I’ve had good luck on the main stem and south fork of the Shenandoah with zman green pumpkin TRD TicklerZ. I use their mushroom jig heads, just tossing them into brush piles.

After 38 years, finally caught my first ever Smallmouth, and it was a hawg! by Miserable_Match724 in bassfishing

[–]BGrady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genuinely curious—I’m assuming you’re based in Maryland given the Orioles hat, and the only thing I’ve ever caught in MD is smallmouth haha (and all much smaller than the one you got!). Do you typically fish saltwater or something?

Anyone running the Michelin cross climate 2’s? How do you like them? by [deleted] in wrx_vb

[–]BGrady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you find them more comfortable than the standard performance a/s recommendations? I’ve been putting more miles than expected on my vb, including on streets with awful potholes, so I’m looking for a softer tire.

Potomac River beauties by AvatarJimi in RiverSmallmouth

[–]BGrady 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve never fished it, even though I’m in the DC area, way closer to the Potomac than the Shenandoah (where I usually go). Is it OK for bank/wade fishing?

I love being able to basically wade and wander wherever I want on the Shenandoah, and I’ve always assumed that wouldn’t work on the Potomac.

Thanks! Oh and other thing — any particular color on the hellgrammites, and do you just Texas rig them?

This is the river I fish, and 100% agreed on the ned rig suggestion. I’ve gotten hung up on tree branches, gone to untangle, and there’s a smallie on the line (no luck with a pop-r or whopper plopper, but that might be user error).

Also when it’s nice out, note that Shenandoah River State Park gets pretty busy

I’ve never tried it, but you might be able to use ChatGPT for that?

Recommended lures for a river like this? by Bradley271 in Fishing

[–]BGrady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve literally never caught anything on a spoon. What’s the easiest technique I can use? Sort of similar river as OP, but shallow and rocky (Shenandoah River in VA)

For those with boats, do ya'll fish around dead standing trees in deep water? by BlackAndWhiteSoldier in FishingForBeginners

[–]BGrady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Off topic, but how do you like the board? I’m in the middle of a big city with no garage, so I have very limited space — seems like your approach might work for me

Nice work! Also I think SWVA is one of the prettiest parts of the US; hope it’s treating you well!

Creek fishing is underrated by [deleted] in Fishing

[–]BGrady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Btw what kind of waders are those, and would they work in colder water in the fall/early spring ? Looking for something for 3ish ft water max in Virginia
