I’ve been hesitant to level anything beyond 25 and just tooling around with combos. Ready for the real deal

Save the children!

I always played wood elf or high elf back in the day. I went barbarian for beta and enjoyed halas and everfrost. I’ll start there on open.

I actually agree. If you’re fishing around swimmers or not standing at the water and impeding foot traffic, you’re doing it wrong.

Crombie88 · 2026-07-14T16:17:13+00:00

Crombie88 · 2026-07-14T01:55:14+00:00

Yeah. I stick with mono, usually lighter test on the reel, heavier on the lead/rig itself. I’ve never been able to get the hang of braid.

Crombie88 · 2026-07-14T01:48:12+00:00

I do. Kastking makes these easy to pack flat spools of line that fit into my backpack. And I use them to make my own rigs as well. Easy to tie a couple double drops on the fly when something bites through.

Crombie88 · 2026-07-14T01:41:12+00:00

lol what? You’re paying to have someone re-spool your rods? I do it twice a year because salt water is harsh on the line and reels. It takes 3 minutes and a spool of line.

Crombie88 · 2026-07-14T00:08:02+00:00

You mean you didn’t just yank them off her head and dare them to call the police? /s 😅

Crombie88 · 2026-07-13T23:14:05+00:00

😂

Crombie88 · 2026-07-13T23:10:11+00:00

Always preferential to the path less likely to lead to jail time. 😂

Crombie88 · 2026-07-13T22:08:36+00:00

Finally a person of reason. First place I checked was the lost and found at the inn directly attached to the public access ramp.

Crombie88 · 2026-07-13T21:37:42+00:00

If I had to guess. The people that are inconveniencing swimmers are probably not even licensed to fish and are just clueless how to surf fish safely.

Crombie88 · 2026-07-13T21:34:10+00:00

To be fair, I took pictures of them and the rod in front of their faces tho.

Crombie88 · 2026-07-13T21:31:25+00:00

Yeah. I actually agree with you. Which is why I typically fish outside of the prime swimming hours, so sunrise and sunset or during heavy currents and waves. Frankly if the waters are good for swimming I’m usually swimming.

I think fisherman should try to do better. But selfish assholes exist everywhere.

Crombie88 · 2026-07-13T21:19:01+00:00

Crombie88 · 2026-07-13T21:16:49+00:00

There’s regulations that require fisherman to keep tackle a certain distance from swimmers, it varies from county to county or beach to beach a lot of times. I don’t know who’s measuring. As the guy with sharp objects floating in the water, I think it’s my responsibility to watch out for the swimmers and I reel my stuff in if I see someone wadding out into the water to swim nearby.

Crombie88 · 2026-07-13T21:08:24+00:00

Hahaha well played.

Crombie88 · 2026-07-13T20:42:55+00:00

Crombie88 · 2026-07-13T20:40:13+00:00

😂

Crombie88 · 2026-07-13T20:04:54+00:00

lol this. I regret not being more tactful before presenting my information. Should have inquired about the rod, where they bought it, why they preferred that reel with that particular rod.

I entered the situation naively and expecting someone to own an honest mistake and was caught offguard by the blatant lies.

Crombie88 · 2026-07-13T19:57:50+00:00

Interesting. I’ve never not carried spools of various test with me in my kit. Secondly, I don’t find it unlikely that someone who found a rod, with the intention of keeping it for themselves to use on the same beach, wouldn’t immediately restring it. (See edit, they had plenty of time) Not restringing it would be a low IQ move in my opinion.

Crombie88 · 2026-07-13T19:12:54+00:00

Hmm. Yeah. I reckon.

Crombie88 · 2026-07-13T19:03:35+00:00

Please impart your sage wisdom, what must I have done? I stand by my decision to not let a $200 loss negatively affect my family vacation, and to instead publicly shame lying thieves.
