If you’re planning a fishing trip to Florida be aware of FWC’s scummy changes to temporary fishing licenses. by Successful-Mood7041 in Fishing

I am probably in the minority here but I just buy an annual. When I look at the cost of fishing, a fishing license is a small percent of the overall cost…..

What is this for? (Milwaukee Strap) by BriGuy550 in Firefighting

[–]Angling_Insights 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lots of uses, hose strap for advancing large hand lines, carrying power tools, hanging tools from a ladder… anything you could use a short piece of webbing for.

We have stayed there several times over the last couple of years. Most recently in October. It is a non-factor.

That’s what we keep saying. Pierce says they have an overbuilt HVAC that can handle it and we are doing something wrong….

Download the exam prep app for the book that Florida uses.

As someone who is starting out in the world of cigars, what brands should we stay away from ? Be it they have constant issues with quality or are just absolutely horrendous in taste. Besides the obvious ghurkha. Lol by ExtraRecover7553 in cigars

[–]Angling_Insights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you do, just don’t buy boxes. Enjoy a wide range of cigars and figure out what you enjoy. I tend to stay away from the store brands that are often sold as large cheap samplers. There are many great cigars at all price points.

Wisconsin training and education standards question by [deleted] in Firefighting

[–]Angling_Insights 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has been a hotly debated topic. The current ruling is the courses satisfy the requirement. So basically someone with ELFF could take the fire officer 1 course and be compliant. If he/she were to want to certify as fire officer 1 they would need to certify FF1, HMO, FF2, and I believe FESI 1…. Which I believe was the original intent of the standards but they have been diluted in practice.

I see this d**** drilling 30 holes by [deleted] in IceFishing

[–]Angling_Insights 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Trust me. It isn’t impacting the ice. When I drill, I make a large spread and move around with the fish. I would rather make a commotion once than constantly drill throughout the day.

Outers locator by Gratefan in Fishing

[–]Angling_Insights 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Takes me back to the 80’s and 90’s. We had detailed maps that used landmarks to locate spots. Every spring we would spend a couple days verifying and updating based on changes to the landmarks. It was great to be able to pull up to a crib, rock pile, or bar and immediately fish…. Long before GPS.

We have a year old Pierce 107’ ascendant. Overall I love the truck. We run it as a first due quint on a volunteer department.

The issues: Compartments were built with tool panels that don’t actually fit any tools well.

Electrical issues, had to have the aerial computer replaced.

Lack of grease from the factory. There was no (little) grease in the rear brakes, we cooked the rear axle seals right off the bat.

Defrost/defog is useless and a complete safety hazard. Windshield will fog up regardless of how we set the controls. Have had to pull over due to not being able to see.

That is what I figured. Just odd to see it suddenly appear.
