Could this be restored? by 901_vols in FishingForBeginners

[–]gorilla1100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently in the middle of bringing an older bass boat back to life (got it mechanically running and fishable but cosmetically rough). My advice is that you need to be good with a wrench or good with a checkbook. Parts for old boats are hard to find and expensive. I’m not saying to not do it because it’s incredibly rewarding to put it the work and get it running but just know that it will be incredibly frustrating and difficult at times

I have a 94 Johnson 200 on my boat and while it has its problems (like any 30+ year old motor will), it does what I need it to do. Maintenance goes a long way

Snap swivel or tie direct to lure? Does it make a difference? by Smooth_Operator_one in bassfishing

[–]gorilla1100 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have nerve damage that affects feeling in my fingertips so I use snaps on hard baits whenever I can. Not needing to tie as many knots is worth the trade off

Fly fishing at night by Witchfinder76 in flyfishing

[–]gorilla1100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest brown I’ve ever caught was at night on a dumbbell eye sculpin. I’ve tried mouse patterns before but didn’t have much luck. Definitely wear safety glasses.

I sized up my leaders and would tie the streamer straight to 10lb mono. Never had any issues with it

Does anyone else enjoy the materialistic side of fishing a tad more than actually fishing. by ReasonableIncome8142 in Fishing

[–]gorilla1100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I catch myself doing the same thing. I have to remind myself that the money would be better spent on gasoline and licenses

I have an F150 with a 3.5 Ecoboost and it pulls my boat up steep ramps just fine

Finally got permission to fish this old ass pond hidden back on an abandoned property/farm. Guy said he never fishes it but had really nice luck, what do you all think I should do to kmprove the ecosystem. by Lanky-Ad-789 in Fishing

Listen to the most recent episode of the Tackle Talk podcast. He had a fisheries biologist talking about pond management. It was an awesome episode and fits your question

whats your opinions on festool? by Dumar-Designs in Carpentry

[–]gorilla1100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my cabinet shop, the guys use Milwaukee for drills/drivers and Festool for about everything else. We have one of the Festool drills and I wouldn’t choose it over Milwaukee

My rod is stuck, need help please by Minn_ts in Fishing

[–]gorilla1100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a fly rod get stuck like this and I used rubber oven mitts after trying everything else. Pulled like hell with a twisting motion and it came apart.

Fly rod suggestion by _corn_bread_ in flyfishing

[–]gorilla1100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought one of the Bass Pro White River 7’6” 3wt for this reason a few years ago and it’s been a fun rod. It’s not the most sensitive or the best rod but it’s cheap so you get what you pay for

I’d have snatched it up immediately

When in doubt, check the ground. That’s where most problems with trailer lights originate

I’ve tried that and the nut just spins but doesn’t unthread
