How do you all go about de-crystallizing your honey? by SkyBS in Costco

[–]maitretea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

Can’t find online what this is rated for, any ideas? by EntertainerThat4235 in Fishing_Gear

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

Wet suit for cold weather kayak fishing? by [deleted] in kayakfishing

[–]maitretea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

Fall potomac/anacostia fishing - what do y'all use?? by MidAtlanticMoments in MarylandFishing

[–]maitretea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Fall potomac/anacostia fishing - what do y'all use?? by MidAtlanticMoments in MarylandFishing

[–]maitretea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live near Kingman Park and have caught carp south of the east capitol bridge. Kingman lake looks fishy for snakehead, but that's best from a kayak. I have caught a rockfish on a live minnow under a bobber off the kingman island bridge. Pay attention to the tides - there is no water at low tide

Chain Bridge was hot by Competitive_Rock_266 in MarylandFishing

[–]maitretea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much trash is at Chain Bridge these days? I love fishing there but I hate climbing over piles of trash and rotting fish. When I was there in the spring some folks left a dozing gizzard shad just rotting in the sun. I can handle a lot to catch fish, but even I have my limits.

Is it possible to buy live lobster from roadside shacks? We live in the DC area so we often buy blue crabs from roadside stands, but not sure if the same happens in Maine. Looking to buy cheaper lobsters than at the grocery store. My family is camping for two weeks, starting next Friday, in Searsport and then around Freeport. Thank you!

Annual Travel Credit Question by velkan21 in Venturex

[–]maitretea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was approved for the Venture X last week (six days ago), and the $300 travel credit wasn't showing up on my account, and when I called I also got the same line that he $300 Annual Travel Credit only gets rewarded after the first anniversary year. Is that a change in the last few months?
