Tips and Tricks
 

Anyone have some advice to share? Not talking about directions to your honey hole or your killer bait, just general stuff to make outdoor life a little easier. Little things you figured out or learned from someone. This may have been done before and if so I apologize.

I'll start.
You ever had an ice chest that needed a serious cleaning? You fill it with bleach water and intend on coming back to wash it. You forget about it or just get too busy and by the time you get to it the water pressure has caused the box to swell some. Now the lid doesn't seal worth a dang.
Easy fix
Open the lid and lay it on the ground in the sun. Hinge side on the ground. Put 2 cinder blocks on the up side and let it sit. The heat and the weight will get it tight again. Let it go a little tighter than it should be because it will open up some with a few uses.

I like the 2 liter bottle top for missing, screw on type cooler plugs.

Don't park at the Burnout bridge in Vinton!

Ticket time???????

How about the pencil in the drill to unspool your reels.

No cinder block through the windows and all yo $hit gone!

Well boys... I'ma have to start some ****.....

Freeze your own ice in old gallon milk jugs....... They last all day and if used in a Yeti will produce enough additional ice so that you can share.

two liter bottles work for ice also......save some gas ,,, air up tires evening before a trip...........truck and trailer......

always grab you trailer hubs when you stop on a trip........if they are too hot to the touch......put some grease in........
It has saved me more than once.

If you use an Ugly Stik, popping cork, frozen shrimp, sparkle beetles or have any kind of sticker on the back windshield of your vehicle, you will NEVER EVER be able to catch any kind of fish. That's what SC has taught me. lmao

gill nets work great

Or have a tee top in your boat

And DU and CCA are to blame for everything that's wrong in the state.

I inject helium in all my rods to make them lighter.

Find reefs like this.

Small Sizers to cut line
old shirt or towel to wipe hands off
Knives and zip locks bags- if there's a cleaning station at the doc no mess at the house or worry about disposal of fish heads

It also shaves a few bucks off the cost of a fishing trip. Its not nard to spend 10-15 bucks on ice every fishing trip.

Lol, i don't mind being known as cheap.... heck if words cost money i would see if i could find a 2/1 special on e's and from then on i would spell it cheep!

:)

:work:

:eek:
:confused:

:rotfl:

save your fish heads to crab with at a later date, just freeze them in the ice bag and thaw on way to lake.

cereal question on this one....

can you get in trouble using a gamefish head in a crab trap?

I had somebody tell me if you use redfish heads the crabs will avoid your traps. Don't know if its true or not

every crabba on the lake uses fish heads when the guide boats are busy. caught on trout and red fish heads not a difference but way better than melt or chicken.

haha
 

only works if you freeze them from the inside out, if you freeze them from the outside in your ice will only last a few hours, i think you have to buy a special freezer for that also:*****::*****:

Wrong, gotta use de-eye-o-nized water for the coldest ice:D

If you want to get my wife and kids on the water at daybreak, set the clock two hours early!

LOL

Go to Doctor and get a prescription for a power pole. Doc says back is to bad for using traditional anchor. Worked for me with the wife !

Voodoo shrimp & rockport rattlers are the key to saltwater fishing.

Lol
 

Haha can we "90-99%" claim this on our taxes as medical expenses

fix your shot up decoys with small pieces of an oil bottle
cut them into triangles, roll them, force them into the whole and set it on FIRE!!

The piece melts and fills the hole, of course don't burn up your decoy

FUN TIP!!!!
Empty 2 liter coke bottle. Cut the neck off and fill it with gas or diesel. Float a tannerite canister in it and lock and load. Send a .308 bullet through the tannerite and watch the fire ball. The cops may show up though. The ones that showed up were cool and I sent some tannerite with em.lol

Never done it, but I hear freezing Coca Cola in an ice cube tray then throwing a handful of cubes in a fire (do not do this in a fireplace) adds a few moments of snap, crackle and pop excitement.

Might be a good way of getting rid of the cans I have left since the "multi - language" God Bless America Super Bowl commercial... eh. I digress

Combo thread. Smoothe move bro. Them no english speaking people aint got no tips for us anyway. If they did we couldnt F'n understand it.lol

5 gal bucket with evenly spaced 1/4" holes drilled close to the rim. Excellent storage and transport system for your yo yo's. Put the hook in the hole from the inside of the bucket, then flip the reel over and inside the bucket. If the bucket tips over, the yo yo's won't get all tangled. Toss a cpl boxes of hooks and a spool of line in, favorite line cutting device, hammer handle for the odd gar and gloves for the colder nights.

Use yellow mouth jig heads! They are so sharp I fowl hooked 3 mullets on a recent wade trip just by reeling in my bait.

Liar birds don't always lie

West cove is getting raped of it's oysters so stop fishing it! There ain't no fish there!!

Mojos scare mallards more times then not.

Teal are suckers for a pod of decoys very close to Each other or even touching

Mature spoonies are smarter than the avg duck!(my .02)

Lil johns and stingray grubs are two of the best baits ever made

My experience is that trout heads are much better than using redfish. Trout are maybe 3 times better.

I like to use trimmed wine cork and super glue, cut a piece to size, stick it in, glue it then shave off excess with a pocket knife...

Keep some potato chips in the boat to spread for birds to keep potlickers away

PM sent bud... the question at the end is muay importante. Lmao

Bring your rain gear if you schedule a trip with me . . . weather will suck :pissed:

Dont let your 15 year old talk you into playing xbox UFC. I got destroyed. Lol

ALWAYS have toilet paper

Always bring more beer than you will need, it will be consumed by more than just you.
Toilet paper should be in everything you own.

Check serial numbers on curados you buy on eBay.

You can duplicate the warmth of a down-filled sleeping bag by climbing into a plastic garbage bag with several geese.

If you buy kistler helium rods make sure they are full of helium. :rotfl:

Don't leave home without enough "Free Board"

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Will any geese work or is a specific kind needed to get it to work right?

We must know the secret!

Throw your anchor as far as you can it holds better

Always big motor up to your spot, trolling motors are over rated

When you want to fish a bank, make sure you burn it 1st then fish it

If you see boats fishing in the wide open, make sure not to use the other 100 acres of water, pass as close to them as possible . Make fish bite if they were sleeping

Solid info!!! U must fish with clampy
