    You've heard of Deeper, iBobber, but check this out!

    Would be pretty cool to use float n' flying in clear water! https://www.facebook.com/HellaflushRC/videos/899271383522535/?pnref=story

    (May be) A new PR from a few days ago

    Hit the local pond from my last two reports for about half an hour this past Tuesday, Dec 15th. Caught one really nice fish around 2.5 lbs., then ended the short outing with landing an absolute toad! May be my new PR, although I can't be sure since I don't weigh my fish. Wasn't the longest fish...

    Quick trip to the local pond

    Have not been able to get out nearly as often as I would've liked this fall (could count the total number of times with my two hands), which is a **** shame because by all accounts, the fishing's been pretty good. Anyways, I hit a local pond today (same one as my last report...

    Abu Garcia Veritas 2.0 // St. Croix Rage

    Hey all, anybody have any experience with either the Abu Garcia Veritas 2.0 or the St. Croix Rage? Specifically the med/med-hvy casting rods. Both are on sale at my local Dick's Sporting Goods -- I think the Abu Veritas 2.0 is $75.00 for a (IIRC) 7'6" MH and the St. Croix Rage is $100.00 for a...

    Any Berkley NanoFil users?

    I need to re-spool my ultra lite spinning reel soon, and have had my eye on Berkley's (relatively) new offering, NanoFil, which is apparently an ultra lite and spinning-specific line. Does anybody have any experience with it? It seems that the reviews are pretty mixed, the main negative being...

    Bucktail/Feather jigs for Freshwater Bass

    Hey TinBoaters! Just wanted to see if there were any anglers out there who use bucktail jigs for largemouth or smallmouth bass. I've used Spro bucktails with a dropper loop and a hook about 12" up from the bucktail (both tipped with 4" Gulp Swimming Mullets)to catch fluke for just about as...

    Punching mats with egg sinkers?

    Hey guys, just wanted some quick input -- I've been unable to find heavy enough tungsten or even lead bullet weights at the local B&T shops/sporting goods stores that would be able to penetrate the thick slop and grass mats in the fisheries I frequent. I was just wondering if anybody's ever...

    Check out this new lure from Live Target

    Hey guys, Apparently Live Target dropped some new lures which were just debuted at ICAST 2015. The one that caught my eye the most was the Hollow Body Sunfish. Pre-selling on TW currently for $12.99, which I think is a steal considering that it's essentially a floating swimbait with Live...

    June's best bass

    Hey all, just thought I'd share my pb for the past month of June with the only people that give even a semblance of a crap about my fishing accomplishments/achievements :LOL2:. Caught in a TINY pond -- I can nearly cast to the other side with a 1/2 oz. Rat-L-Trap -- at a local park (Barbara...

    This Weekend in Review

    Been killing them at a local lake recently (Lake Ceva in Ewing, NJ). These were the bass I caught from Saturday to yesterday afternoon (Monday, May 18th). No lunkers, but some real nice fish mixed in with some dinks. All bass were caught either on a Zoom Super Fluke in Pearl (weightless on a...

    D&R Canal ... 4/22

    Hit the Rocky Hill section of the D&R Canal yesterday from about 6:00PM - 8:30PM EST. The fish were biting! Nothing to write home about size-wise, but it was still a ton of fun catching all kinds of species on my ultra lite setup. Only the cat was caught after sunset. Time: ~ 6:00PM - 8:30PM...

    Hello Again, Tinboaters!

    Hey everyone, I'm not sure if anyone remembers who I am, but I used to be a really active contributing member, and had actually been a part of this great community since its inception when Jim approached me -- I believe from the Bass Pro Shops forums -- to join as it was just taking off (side...

    Back in the game... Skunk on 11/6

    It's been almost two years since I've picked up a fishing rod, even longer for freshwater. In fact, July 30th, 2010 was the last time I've ever made a post here and it wasn't even a fishing-related thread. In case anyone remembers me, I was the post-happy highschooler who spent more time on a...

    Shot of Neshanic Station, NJ

    Here's a picture of Neshanic Station, NJ, where the South Branch of the Raritan river passes through. Nice place for smallies and sunnies, and they do stock it with trout during the Spring (although I have never gone in the Springtime). Anyways I took this shot today, enjoy! By the way, click...

    BCS Championship

    Despite my lack of posts, rest assured I have been keeping up with the topics. And if there's one thing I love (almost) as much as fishing, it's college football! As I type, the biggest game in college football is under way, the BCS Championship, where #1 Alabama will take on #2 Texas. I'm...

    LBI 11/6/09 - FIRST striper!

    So I got out today for the first time since summer. From September - now, school/standardized testing has been dominating my life. Yesterday and today we had off because of the NJEA convention, so my dad and I decided to take the opportunity to get out. He woke me up at around 5:00am and we...

    Need some waders!

    Hey guys I know I've been relatively inactive lately. I try lurking around every here and there, but junior year's really taking its toll on me! I just completed my first SAT in October, and school work is piling up, not to mention I have to take the SAT again along with ACTs and SAT II's. I...
