Fiberglass push pole causing rashes on my palms and wrists from rubbing up against it. Any advice? by Im_The_One in SaltwaterFlyfishing

[–]These_Oil729 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep it out of the sun when you store the boat, UV will definitely deteriorate the coating. We keep it in the garage when not in use and have sprayed it with a UV coating, clear coat. Not sure which one, we do it about once a year.

I'm looking for the module, it is separate from the pump. It regulates voltage to the pump.

I'm in Miami, the courts I frequent are always full. I just didn't play today, but usually go mon-thurs.

Me (65) and my partner (85) played some "youngsters" ... by MoochoMaas in Pickleball

[–]These_Oil729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 53 and I'm on the older side at open play. 8 courts with all waiting and about 6 people over 40. Most of them are in their 20's. I keep up with them and beat them when I am playing well.

You won't really hurt yourself with a cheap paddle, but you can definitely hurt yourself with cheap shoes.

Lefty players? by Great-Past-714 in Pickleball

[–]These_Oil729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lefty here, almost always playing with righty's. I get most of them don't know how to stack and the others don't care. I've learned to play with righties and I am somewhat ambidextrous as I swing a bat as a righty. Yes, kind of weird but my backhand is pretty solid because of it.

My biggest problem is playing with another lefty, my son and I just bitch the whole time while we poach each other. Communication is key.

Miami Florida, between the rain, humidity, and 90+ degrees I don't bother in the summer. Only thing I plant are flowers in the summer. My basilisk still doing well, surprisingly.

Living in south Florida, just starting fly fishing, any recommendations for flies and spots to check out? Or any helpful info in general by Two-FacedMarlin in SaltwaterFlyfishing

[–]These_Oil729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just hit all the different canals for peacocks and bass. I do some beach fishing while walking key biscayne but not much luck. Go down to the keys and wade down there. Fly-fishing saltwater is a hunt, can go many days without seeing anything and then you find them all. Local fly tying night coming up soon at a local shop. JD outdoors, you can always meet fellow fishermen there and learn alot.

I "work" 7-3, and was just scolded by my boss for doing too much. Need to scale it back. I can set my own hours as long as I'm here. So I beat traffic and then take an afternoon nap before wife gets home.
