We're driving to alabama gulf coast for spring break and kid wants to do fishing
I thought I knew a decent amount about fishing, but apparently ocean/surf fishing and freshwater lake fishing are like two entirely different worlds. Different knots, different setups, different hooks......hell even the sinkers are different!  Previous Message
Hell I think I was one of the last in my Kindergarten class who learned to tie his shoes. Who the hell has time for that when grownups will do it for you?!?!
That said, I every time I try to learn to tie a palomar (including this week) I quickly give up and go right back to the basic fisherman's.
