Prehistoric Soul - 2020
This has been an unprecedented year in the world and has slowed to halted many shark fishing activities during the peak times. Prehistoric Soul will be here when you need us. Read through some old posts and browse some categories. We also welcome you to write any articles that you may feel important to be here on the site. Soon enough, the sharks will return and we'll be back to normal, whether new or not.

Not sure why I have so many, lol! Can't have too many jigsticks! I have blanks I'll probably never wrap, but I can't stop. I'm sure Tom has way more gear than me. I buy and sell often. Upgrading as I go. I've gotten rid of all my old gear. I used to have a crate of Penn 500s and another of Penn 501s. Accumulated over my years while working at H&M Landing.

Should've went to the Miramar landfill and got some soil. It's free if you shovel it yourself, a very nominal fee to have it loaded into your bed. I get mulch there for my fruit trees.

« on: February 18, 2023, 07:47:38 PM »I went Thursday. Some vendors were still getting set up.
Got a good deal on a blue/red SJ90F blank at SD tackle traders ($170 and it fit the bill for what I was looking for) and some rod components for slightly less than normal.
The smaller vendors were neat to see. Local rod builders, cali made lures, joes.
There was more fishing boats than the Pomona Hall boat show. Scout and Robalo turned out with some good looking boats.
Saw a few guys from BD and shoot the sh!t. Apparently I just missed Mike and he was fondling my rod before I bought it.
I spent about 2 hours there and saw everything with a moderate crowd. From following the post on BD more vendors set up and we’re staffed after I left. Saturday and Sunday will be packed for sure and there’s more events and guests lined up.
Long Beach show is supposed to have more vendors from what i hear and the PCS will be even bigger. I’ll be at a couple booths at PCS.
I was really taken back by some of the prices on blanks at SD tackle traders. I picked up a Super seeker baby ulua and thought “this is nice” and put it back when I saw the $750 price tag. I’m really looking forward to seeing what Batson and composite forge produce these coming years for jig sticks and long rods.
Skinny butt Uluas are moderately rare, hence the steeper price tag. Was looking at a Harnell 542 blank and they wanted $750. I have a factory wrapped one, I'm guessing it'll fetch a bit more. I'll just have to wait awhile for a 724. Btw, they're some Conolons for sale on Offerup for only $50. Absolutely worth picking some up. Super parabolic and all glass. It's the perfect 30lb jigstick!!! I have 6 and they're my favorite for throwing a Tady A1 for calicos and barracuda.

Frustrating when your more knowledgeable than the captain, but it nice to just sit back and relax for once. I hear there's squid around...

Fishing while freezing is not fun, but fishing with pops really makes it worthwhile!

Got there a few minutes before they opened up. Love it when I avoid the crowds!
Island Tackle had some great prices on jig blanks. I picked up a Calstar 100J and a Rainshadow RCJB90XH-CG. The Calstar is a jigstick I don't own yet and the Rainshadow will be my dedicated yoyo rod. Got both for just over $200. Smoking deal!! Also picked 4 of the Duran's super clamps ($30 each) from the Duran's booth. From Turner's, I got a Daiwa swimbait rod for $99. It was $120 off. Also picked up a Penn FTH30 2spd reel for $210 and it comes with a coupon for a free spool up of 300yds of Jbraid. I'll use that for my Daiwa Luna 253.
Nowhere near as many tackle booths as there used to be. I remember this large booth where you could a bunch used reels, rods, and terminal tackle. Then again, that was in the 90s. The boats were beautiful, but not in my future. Turner's have great deals. Island Tackle was the best for blanks and rod building components. Visited SD Tackle Traders looking for a Harnell. I already have a 542, but have been on the hunt for a 724. Found one, but not willing to spend $900 for it. It'll only get more expensive though...
Not the same show I'm used to, but there were great deals and brauts to eat while walking around.

One of my resolutions this year is to bring more bananas on my boat and fight off one of the few superstitions I’ve followed my whole fishing life. Gonna make my own luck!
Don't do it... You have been warned......
I’ve read into the traditional reasons for no bananas on board and they make sense in the light of pre 20th century voyages and general food storage process. Causing other fruits to spoil quickly on long voyages, bringing spiders and termites, and they’re sometimes the last thing floating in the water after a ship is capsized so seen as an omen.
I heard whistling is also bad luck which I assume is a captain being driven bat sh!t crazy by a mate’s terrible whistling.
What did bananas do to hurt you, Tom?
And keep it PG…
Mike now lobbying for bananas so as to become the chief PSoul banana supplier.
I have the trees in the backyard! I'll make sure Tom gets 1st dibs.
