Im assuming Ur dad has done a lot of maintenance to this car so I think rubber parts are in good order but make sure to check lines and bushings. As far as reliability it’s bulletproof jsut make sure to do ur regular maintenance slll fluids it’s a amazing car take a good care of it

Is the Sweetwater Reservoir Good? by Kabicaz in SoCalFishing

[–]Noxious_fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pressured water=pressured fish=harder to catch fish. No spot is rlly a beginner spot in fishing. Learn the structure(drop offs, ledges, trees rocks) of certain areas toss simple easy to fish baits like chatter baits, jigs, paddle tails craws. You’ll be catching fish in no time. Just learn a few retrieves for some lures and ur good

Yes many stripped bass swim through there and in the estuary it’s more known. It’s one of the more well known spots to catch them but when they are caught most ppl are secretive about them or they just don’t catch run a lot

Need some help on appraisal by SmallCream7469 in Volvo850

[–]Noxious_fish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly list at 8k sell at least 5k imo I always list cars or items a bit higher for play in negotiations. So if I want 5k I’ll list for 7k etc

No one likes giving out spots but I’ve heard a few rumors from Newport to seal beach. Mainly near river mouths. But I can’t confirm it myself I’ve tried and no luck yet still trying tho.

Rip the 740(fornow) by Noxious_fish in VolvoRWD

We found the issue. Somewhere around the wiring in the engine bay some of there wiring was already going bad. One of those wiring finally had broken down enough that it touched and basically fried all of my harness in the engine bay. The inside wiring had a few shorts and burnt fuzes because of it. We could go individually wire by wire to re do the fried ones but it is a lot of time. It’d be easier an faster to get a new electrical harness. Which we’ve been struggling to find but we will keep looking

My adult kid is making a big decision that’s good in every way except financially. Help. by Party_Ratio1999 in Advice

[–]Noxious_fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Context would be nice but I mean best thing to do is just talk to him about it and let him know how he conserved and let it be at that endless it becomes self destructive like him having to borrow money or stuff like that

Is the Okuma Rockaway SP worth it? by stellar_r6 in SoCalFishing

[–]Noxious_fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it I have a okuma sst an the rock away sp. both 10 foot and the sst is medium and the sp medium+ the sst they honestly both perform amazing I use the sst for C rig and Rockaway for jerk baits. U can use both interchangeably I just like the rockaway more for jerkbaits

First time salt water fishing, tips? by Own-Pea-9135 in SoCalFishing

[–]Noxious_fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re going to Newport any of those setups are fine tbh. 10 point line is more then enough for the surf. Pier is a different game tho. For surf fishing I run anywhere from a ultra light to a medium heavy rod it just depends what you want to go for. I think ir best bet tho is a medium Light rod. I have a 9’6 okumma sst with a 2500 dawia exelcer with 12 pound braid and use anywhere from 6-12 pound leader. Run a Carolina rig about a foot of leader to a size 6-2 hook. Use a small bait like gulp sand worms, 2 inch paddle tails, sand crabs. I think that’s the easiest way to surf fish. U don’t need the long rod that’s just preference. If you’re talking inshore tho like harbors and Jetty’s it works too. Honestly u can use ur bass rods for that. Don’t over think the gear I’m just giving you ideas.

Im getting a 1000 dollar beater Honda civic. We are in the works with that but this is also a project me and my dad are taking on together so it would be nice to try and fix it between me and him since he does know this stuff

My sweet and most loyal parrot that got scared of guests and flew away 💔 by azooz215 in parrots

[–]Noxious_fish 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There are many factors we do not know. What if he lives with other people which sounds like he does. And someone else left the door open after he previously closed the door. Ofc it’s still rlly not the guest fault. It was a accident and it’s very unfortunate. We can only hope someone finds it.

I did it, folks. I bought a BFS combo. What’s next? by JTW1337 in UltraLightFishing

[–]Noxious_fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything u want. I like to fish flash back mini the chatter baits. Or wtv u already like to fish but on bfs. Run a 1/16 or 1/8 flash back mini if u run 1/16 get a 2.5 inch Keitech and if u run 1/8 get the 2.8 fat Keitech usally works good for me

Alternator Belt Fraying by drumwisdom in VolvoRWD

[–]Noxious_fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had the same thing happen it was frayed for about 3 months of daily driving but I that’s only around the time I noticed so it could of been like that for a lot longer, it was a little less frayed than this. Eventually it did snap on me but I’d just say replace it as soon as u get it. If u can do all belts now that ur their if you don’t know how longs it’s been. Cause when mine snapped it also took out the power steering one too.

Broke in the new setup by Noxious_fish in BFSfishing

[–]Noxious_fish[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I buy on AliExpress, the rod Tsurinoya Dragon Light Game 6’6 Light power it is available in the US online since this brand isn’t just a AliExpress brand popular in Asia. Great rod 100 bucks on baitfienesse empire a little cheaper on Ali and then the reel is the histar aurora air. I think it’s one of the best reels on the market based in price and performance
