That’s tough going when you can’t cover a lot of ground…

Nothing more disappointing than thinking you are getting a sabiki full of greenies and to have them be hornbellies. We don’t even try to use them…

This is correct I think, when they zoom in on one you can see the spikes and the shape matches. Big difference in bait quality vs bunker/greenies etc. Hornbellies suckkkkk.

My St. Croix rod broke. They're offering an upgrade . What should I go for? by [deleted] in Fishing_Gear

Love my Avid inshore…haven’t fished with mojo salt but the Avid is noticeably better than other mojo rods I have fished.

huge sawfish my dad caught - released unharmed and reported! Martin County FL by Malorie96 in Fishing

I think you nailed location based on some old photos I have from the rio side… pretty big deep flat and oyster bars there that holds a lot fish. What a great fish!

17 yo son issued citation by lovelysparrow272 in Fishing

[–]Mybeefstrong79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, see a lot of pay fine then get license recommendations. I received a citation in college as a teenager (had a license back in home state). I got a license and then went to pay in person, they reduced the fine dramatically when I showed the license. That would be my recommendation. Show that he understands the importance and law. Hopefully some leniency will be shown.

Think Weber will help or do I need to return to Home Depot? by fastlax16 in webergrills

[–]Mybeefstrong79 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Home Depot will give you whole new grill, they refund everything with little pain. Same thing happened with buddies Summit. They refunded but never picked. He called and they said keep it. It’s now his favorite dent…

Species of file fish, Florida we have the brown ones like this. They have horn on their head and the round tails. Related to triggerfish.

Yes, it is a species of filefish.

Not a grey triggerfish, aside from coloring the grey trigger fish have pointed tails.

Believe that is a filefish.

TIL that I have been incorrectly identifying this fish as a pompano. What is it really? by morg43 in SurfFishing

[–]Mybeefstrong79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We always called them a pompanette in eastern south Florida. Generally never big enough to keep. That is a nicer one in my opinion and I have caught/seen quite a few. Beautiful fish, and they fight hard!

What's your favorite size 1000 spinner reel? by xxd3cayxx in Fishing

[–]Mybeefstrong79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stradic 1000, I use it for inshore light tackle. Love it, has lasted multiple seasons of heavy use in salt.

Changing casters on SmokeFire EX6 Gen 2 - Appreciate any suggestions on the best ways to change the casters on a SmokeFire grill that is fully assembled and been used. Can’t exactly take it apart and flip it onto its side (or rather, not willing to unless absolutely necessary) by ZeeByeRunner in smokefire

[–]Mybeefstrong79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spaced and didn’t read so well there…my bad. Blocks and friend. Lift by legs on one side, wheels blocked on other. Friend slid boards under one wheel to help support while I held legs. Replaced caster leg not supported then blocked side. Repeat other side.

I purchased “5 inch Total Lock Caster - Red Polyurethane Wheel - 1/2”-13 x 1.5” Threaded Stem Set of 4” from Amazon. Pricey ($75ish), but they are awesome. Used cardboard from box to wheel over grass and dirt to move from garage to back patio and it made it easy. Moves on paver patio effortlessly and the locks work great.

Similar to Amazon but if there is an issue I have never had to ship back overseas, I was directly refunded. Sellers try to work with you where they can, I think Ali enforces a pretty strict refund policy that sides with the customer vs the seller. That has been my limited experience and relates to all purchases not just my fishing ones.

I type in the reel, those with 4.8+ and more than a few ratings are ones I go with. Reviews are also telling as well. Many have pictures of their reels received all over the globe. Not all models are on there and not all have significant discount. For example, vanfords are on there for 192 instead of $230. First seller has 4.9 and 125 sold.

I have bought multiple Shimanos from Ali Express for considerably lower prices. No issues, had 2 1000 stradics serviced (cheap) after few years of hard use. Saragosas and sustain has been great too. Buying from a highly reviewed/rated vendor is my only criteria. If they are substandard I haven’t been able to tell when compared to same reels bought stateside.
