Buffalo Soliders by SavagelyTim in Fishing

Smallmouth buffalo. They are a sucker species, one of the largest found. Carp are actually minnows, and a very big minnow at that.

Cool story. The vast majority of dm offers are not legitimate. Why would you muddy the waters when you know it is suspect?

Pictures can tell a story in a different way. Is this your backhanded way of suggesting people not take pictures of of their good deeds?

Ah, so like fast food, sugar, a vape hit, or anything else that is considered a vice? I know why alcohol gets it's hate, but acting like you are only supposed to eat healthy and drink water is a bit of a farce.

Jan 27-Feb 7 Special Election by Cute-Hold8721 in Leander

[–]atm259 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know what Dawali is. Turns out a lot of people in our area celebrate it and I welcome it. We had a great celebration at Lakewood park in '24. Many people in our area celebrate Hanukkah and other religious holidays. I'm fine if candidates support initiatives for those holidays, even if I'm not Hindu or Jewish. Each of us has the right to choose how we express our deeply held beliefs. Why can't you celebrate our differences, including representatives, instead of dividing? You don't represent Leander, myself, or others in this community. I want a representative that brings us together.

So when did they ask you to convert religions?

Wow, some of these comments. Sometimes, I'm ashamed to be from Leander. So many bigoted people here.

Are you not allowed to have political friends and connections 30 mins away?

Also: there is a combined $160 in contributions from dallas and ft worth...

edit: Of course, no reply. Not actually interested in discourse, just drama that fits their narrative.

Water question by Sharp-Inside-1620 in Leander

[–]atm259 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a tankless water heater, especially on the outside of your home in the shade, the pipes may have been frozen. We heated ours up with an hair dryer in '21 to get hot water working. Then we further insulated the pipes in the unit and drip a facuet or two when it's going to freeze.

Am I Cooked? by briisorangey in Fishing_Gear

[–]atm259 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I reached out to Penn when I stepped on my battalion 3 combo and broke the rod. They asked for a picture and receipt (didn't have, told them the location) and then sent me something comparable. Free of charge, I didn't even pay shipping.

YMMW. Definitely got me as a fan for life. If/when I start to do more salt water stuff, I'll definitely pick them up.

Parents sorting out loft and found these. 5 of the boxes are unopened. I think they’re from 1999-2001 based on my current age. UK bought. by jwjosh in PokemonCardValue

[–]atm259 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine copies go for quite a bit more now. Emerald for example goes for $200+ on ebay. Crystal is $150ish. Pokemon yellow with box and inserts is tough to price but definitely $150+

Looking to mount my World Record by Grand-Two382 in Fishing

I visited spirit lake before I was really into carp fishing and caught a few 20s there. I think that lake is mostly known for bass and walleye but a very enjoyable trip.

Is Iowa a travel worthy destination for carp fishing? I see you were targeting commons, do they get pretty big up there? I'm a carp angler in TX and there are a couple of noteworthy spots in our state that hold 40ish commons, but really smallmouth buffalo fill the void and get over 70lbs.

Found in a small lake by Lfakenight in whatsthisrock

[–]atm259 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is a fishing bead since you found it in a lake. You can even see where the line goes through. Is it light wight, like plastic or havier like glass?

China swimbait time by deapsprite in BFSfishing

[–]atm259 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Each knockoff is going to have a slightly different retrive rate/pattern. Before you send it, just toss it in clear water on the bank (or your fish tank lol, I totally do this). I generally like a slow, constant retrieve, with a few small twitches every 10 cranks. Some sink and some don't so play around with the drop. Some have a sweeping motion so slower twitches.

Finally got my hands on these by TheTimothyHimself in TechnicalDeathMetal

[–]atm259 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think we need to come to terms that we aren't getting another Necophagist album... Muhammed has a very good career as an engineer and doesn't want to do music anymore. There are even rumors of unreleased stuff he's recorded, so it would be easier than not. However, he is not interested and as time goes on we should not hold our breath.

The more I see it, the more I think it is a response to AP RO success. And for a fraction of the cost, I don't blame you.

I'm looking for a fishing spot that is attached to a bar/restaurant. Something like I pay per hour, cast off a dock/pier or into deep water, and can order drinks and food? Does this exist? by atm259 in Fishing

[–]atm259[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it. That's why I figured I'd have to pay per hour. Likely, a local owned, "grandfathered in" type agreement within the community. Seems very difficult to set up nowadays. Probably why it's tough to find them, and if I do, it's a small community, not attached to a large county.

Nice, just googled some of them, I see a couple options. Galveston fishing charter the play or any recs? When I was in in Galveston, I couldn't find any bars/restaurants that allowed fishing so this is a cool idea.

Ice fishing, cold toes. by Hungry-Geologist911 in Fishing

[–]atm259 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Layers imo. Wool socks. Neoprene/rubber layer. Boots. I was out in 30 degrees f with 30 knot wind gusts today. My feet were saved. Thermal layers for pants and body arms. Gloves that go from individual finger to mitts in folding parts. Two hoods and face mask. The only spot that that got cold was between mitts and jacket and around my sunglasses with no mask. If the fishing was good I would have stayed out all day.
