I'll check it out this morning while at work!
News:
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.

Fishing Talk / Re: Day At The Docks 2024
« on: April 08, 2024, 08:28:36 AM »
Good show. It was the first time I didn't have my wife and daughter in tow so it was kind of dangerous. I swore I wasn't going to buy any new lure, but I somehow walked away with a 25# box of stuff... Ugh
Talked with a bunch of new people and saw some old friends along the way.
I spent more time conversing than I did walking around and shopping.
The used tackle lot was FILLED with people, but I found some things that I couldn't pass up. I picked up a lot of smaller lead (split shots, rubber cores, worm weights, egg sinkers etc) and found one of the big 240 Mad Macs that looked brand new for $25. Much better than the normal $50 price tag in the box!
Even though the family wasn't with me, I traditionally went to Pizza Nova for my Mai Tai and Pie!
As I got home, I saw that I missed 5 calls. I barely got any pictures, mostly because of that heavy ass box I was carrying all morning. LOL
Let's see what you guys picked up!

Fishing Accessories / Re: Steering cable
« on: April 08, 2024, 08:18:43 AM »
Yeah, they have a grease nut that can be installed to prevent that. I've had that happen as well as my neighbor on his boat. I think I remember heating it up to free it and then installing the fitting and regreasing the line. I have a hydraulic now, so just dealing with leaks and no seizing. Hope you fix that up. It's a boat "pain in the ass" type of issue.
If you upgrade the steering, then you won't have to worry about it for a while, where as this problem would most likely happen again if you just regrease it.

It was only a few years ago that it was 2 or 3. It's very confusing just asking a general search engine the question since I don't know what year it is stating. I definitely need to dive in deeper when I get home for clarification. My work security doesn't open the DFW site, as I guess that it detects the word "Firearms" in the body of the website.

Well, well, well... It wasn't an April Fool's joke after all! Nicely done Jeremy!
I definitely need to go back and check the regs. I knew of the quota cut-back for reds, but still thought Salmon Grouper were 2 and heard the new total bag limit would be 5 fish in combination. I guess that isn't in effect yet, so I will definitely dive back into the regs and figure it out before my next trip.
Well done sir!

Is this an Aoril Fool's joke or are you actually fishing in the boat today?

Freshwater Shore Fishing Reports / Here Batter Batter Batter (3/29)
« on: March 31, 2024, 02:30:08 PM »
Ran down to the puddles and had the same results. Not a nibble for a few hours.... Just talked with a guy for a bit while the fish were taking a siesta.
Then 30 minutes before closing and a SCREAMER! Gone before I got to the rod.
Followed by another screamer! As rod loaded up in my hands... just gone.....
Small bite after that and the worm was nibbled to a stub.
Same thing again.....
Same thing for a 3rd time!
7:00 came and zero fish caught and went 0/5. Not exactly sure what I was getting bit on, but I'm suspecting Red-Ear and/or small trout. Even though it was a fruitless trip, it felt great just to chill in the truck, listening to music, meanwhile having a few rods just 20' soaking away.
Thanks for reading and the Bat fight will be here at the end of the month! Going to try and get out for a scouting mission here this week.

Anyone going down next Sunday? I'll be down for a bit in the morning looking for some deals and maybe seeing if any vendor has one of the new Daiwa 500 bait casters I can get a feel of. I'd love to pair it with my Rainshadow yellow rod for tossing surface irons, but want to see if it worth that type of coin.

Pretty awesome guys! I haven't been in a BPS since Atlanta in 1997. Place scares the crap out of my wallet.
I almost had BPS pay for and make a mount of my ATWR Sargo for the RB store. I got an initial "yes" on the mount but I got a call back that it wasn't a worthy enough species for them. Fuggers....lol

Fishing Talk / Saturday Night Bat Fight XVIII - Banter Board
« on: March 26, 2024, 07:27:38 AM »
I just put this up here for sh!ts and giggles. I was thinking of the old banter from the OC and LA in years past, but now realize that the VC is the real competition now. Since Donfish ran to the hills, the remaining LA contingent is scattered and splintered and just resorts to catching thornbacks (minus ones). The OC hasn't been a challenge since Dagodfaja sunk into a razor clam hole and has yet to resurface (and Koga rode the poop chute to AZ so wouldn't know how to catch one). The VC has organized and may get lucky with a win through just sheer numbers of anglers, but SD has plans to combat that tactic. Team NorCal... well, their best angler split for the mid-west, so their hopes are up in smoke.
Yep, that's the summary for the start of Bat Fight season. Let the games begin!
(I wonder if Where'sMyBeer will make an appearance?

I may try the surf in the morning if conditions permit, but not sure of our base of operations yet. I'd say the same old spot, but we can switch it up to PDK's or KDP's if necessary. which have a lot of parking, but no fire rings. SD peeps, any input if a fire is a must? I'll also post on the SD SNBF page to keep the snooping eyes of OC, LA and VC away from our plan. Planning on doing some old school tactics that I don't want in the hands of the enemy. lol

Nice boat BTW Chris. I bet it's nice having the extra room compared to the narrow inflatable.
