3/8 solid braid (not poly) with O-ring and spacers has never slipped for me. I routinely pull from 100 ft. Maybe you just have more weight (bugs/crabs) in each hoop than I do! :D

Nice job. Love the old time Dog Town books! I grew up in that era skating pool, parks and pipes! All you're missing is a copy of Skateboarder mag, open to the "Who's Hot!" section.....

Where the hell is Seal Beach? :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

This. 👆👆👆 Also, no commercial lobster boats allowed on the frontside of Catalina. Recreational only. However I do see some suspicious unmarked floats from time to time. :cool:

Fire Tiger rapala trolled in the rain! Disclaimer: Take it with a grain of salt, I've never caught a brown trout in my life. Stocked quite a few, tho! :D My freshwater friends swear by this method!

Hey, at least you didn't call him "Kinison" :D This thread is a perfect example of how to take an average day and turn it into an entertaining post by adding a little T & A and a bit of humor! Well played, sir!

Nice sled you have there. "Never eat gas station sushi..." -- Confucius :D

Them's the fixin's for a right-smart fish fry you got there! Beer batter, guacamole, mango salsa and your favorite beverage! Yum!

If you have a 115, that is the same as my OB. With all the hours on mine, it will push me to 30 knots on glass, unloaded. I would expect that yours would be about the same. You start adding in full 30 gallon bait tank, lobster/fishing/camping gear and it slows down a bit. Max HP - for my boat...

That is just great! Was my son ever that small? I think he was born 6'0 - 240 :D

Hopefully, it's the rolling pebble that starts an avalanche o' bugs for you! Congrats!

Those sandies are going to start recognizing the sound of your engine and skip town for a few days. :D Nice catch!

People can bash all they want. Trophy boats have been much better than their earlier models for years now. I really enjoy it when "fishermen" in 60 foot sportfishers watch us land big fish while they're getting skunked. 🤣

Great job and best of luck with your new sled!

The bay, girlfriend and 3 bass sounds like a romantic date in SD! Nice! :D
