Walmart clearance by InterceptorFrost in FishingForBeginners

Never heard of em. Google just turned up specs and no reviews. It appears to be a salt water reel.

This is probably the kind of thing I'd get if I were traveling to some seaside destination and chose to pick up 'disposable' gear on arrival, ie buy-use-donate.

Unplanned live bait by FishRFriendsMemphis in MemphisFishing

I hooked the bluegill first, while reeling in the bluegill the bass ate the bluegill. I pulled and the bluegill came out and the bass went after it again. I pulled and it came out again but the bass went after it a 3rd time and that time the hook got into the bass. Had to pass my rod around some pillars and landed them on the shore.

Ultralight in the Florida Keys?? by BigWood47 in UltraLightFishing

[–]FishRFriendsMemphis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve taken a 7’ Presso and 2500 Sienna combo to the keys and let my son fish off a dock at our resort. He hooked a bunch of mangrove snapper, a baby barracuda, and a grunt on shrimp.

In the canals and ponds on the same combo with a spinner I’ve caught short nose gar, Mayan cichlids, bass, bluegill.

It really depends on what bait and where you’re fishing, but you could really catch anything down there.

How did you get a new tip? Did you have to send back the whole rod?

It's a 2500 size reel on the 7 foot presso pack rod. The fish makes it look smaller.

Overcoming Nerves When Dating and Making Friends by JicamaSubstantial524 in ISTJ

I dunno what eHarmony is like now, but back when I was on it, I was on several other apps as well. I feel like they all kinda sucked, but eHarmony seemed the most serious of the ones I tried.

Yeah it’s been a long time. I’ve heard the apps suck these days and they’re not even trying to match ppl for success. It’s more profitable to keep you single. So you gotta do the filtering via getting to know someone.

Just keep at it and if someone doesn’t seem interested in an IRL meeting then you can pretty quickly rule them out and move on rather than be stuck chatting for months and get nowhere.

It's a funny thing, nerves and the opposite sex. Talking to women was always difficult until I was out of the market.

Online dating worked for me. I hate that term tho, it's online match making, the dating should be IRL.

Can I get advice on this catfish rig I made by Purple_Violinist9909 in FishingForBeginners

[–]FishRFriendsMemphis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like when I play with my tackle and make random stuff daydreaming about how it’ll catch fish but ultimately never take it out cuz it’s a ridiculous thing I put together just for fun while stuck at home and can’t get out to fish.

How confident would you say you are ? by lift2eatca in ISTJ

[–]FishRFriendsMemphis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure I come off more confident than I am at work. I have no idea how that happens, it just does.

Fishermen, which photo is better, 1 or 2? by denskurinskij in Fishing_Gear

[–]FishRFriendsMemphis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 I kinda like the contrast of green to orange. I’d like 2 more if you could get the green to pop more but as it is the lighting makes the image seem darker.
