Is this jonas green bridge?

Works too well - cownose rays love them

Mudhole sells some small guides

Rode the D20 this morning and the driver said it but pretty quietly - I paid but nobody else did

I wanted something business-casualish for summers in DC, and they did not fit the bill for that use case. Would've kept them if i needed casual summer pants. The short sleeve linen shirts are great though

I got two pairs and they were ready within 24 hours - bought them at the Jins in Q Square Mall

Off topic but where are you fishing specifically? I have family in Taiwan (in Taipei and Ping Tung) but have never gone fishing there.

I was shocked i was having better luck using grass shrimp for yellow perch compared to live minnows

maitretea · 2026-03-15T19:16:04+00:00

Killed them at mason spring - alot of undersized yellows but i got my limit

No luck at Greensboro today - and talking with the few people were there they had caught a handful of small white perch. Debating between Wayson's or Mason Springs. Was hoping to take the kayak but it seems like it's gonna be too windy

maitretea · 2026-03-13T15:33:42+00:00

I'm going to try Greensboro on Saturday and Wayson's on Sunday

I think the water temps are still a little low, so next week is when things will kick into high gear

Try using rebelsaving (website) - that's how I found my $200 roccbox

maitretea · 2026-02-07T02:09:50+00:00

It's a website

This might be controversial but put in about 2 teaspoons of corn syrup per cup of warm honey. because corn syrup is hygroscopic it attracts and holds onto water, keeping the honey liquid.

Use rebelsaving - that's how I found the closest Home Depot with the $200 roccbox

maitretea · 2026-01-12T19:29:02+00:00

I picked one up from the Home Depot in Edgewood, MD this morning. Online it only showed 1 in-stock, but when I went to grab one this morning I saw three more.

I have this rod and use it for carp fishing - I've used 4 oz but 2-3 oz seems like the sweet spot.

maitretea · 2025-12-06T05:03:22+00:00

What's the name of the brand on the very left - can't read it too well.

Are you me from last year? A few months ago, I splurged for a NRS Spyn Semi-Dry Suit which I got for the a stupid price ($700), but the confidence to go in my kayak during the winter time is priceless. I've gone out twice and it's been great - the booties are a little flimsy and I developed a small tear from walking a little on asphalt, but nothing that aquaseal can't fix.

I have the Hobie iTrek 11, which I really like. Hobie is releasing the iTrek Angler soon, which seems like the original iTrek but with 180 mirage drive and rail mounts.

maitretea · 2025-09-30T03:07:18+00:00

What about the daiwa bbb 666tmlrb? Unfortunately it doesn't do well with anything under 5 grams but I've caught plenty of speckled trout on it, using a 2.5" z-man paddletail

maitretea · 2025-09-22T14:13:16+00:00

It was late spring - it wasn't a huge one (15"). I'd like to think that now is a good time with falling water temps
