NYC Fishing

[haoz]

Being a tropical guy my entire life, this past winter shrank the size of my balls.

Now's time to warm them up with some fish!

My wife & her first fluke


weird birthmark on her first fluke.. =D


Then there's me with a keeper fluke



Took a walk by the river today.. Couldn't resist bringing out my Rushburn and do some casting. Got results within first 10 casts.
The results?

In case you're wondering, set-up used:
Rod: Poison Glorious 172H Rushburn
Reel: Exsence DC
Lure: Exsence Silent Assasin OM-140F


That's me with the fish



Fishing brings happines


Fishing is happiness


Hope you enjoy the pics.

well, there was this passer-by. He came over to congratulate me on my fish. He went on to tell me about his fishing gear - chronachs and some shimano rods.

I told him my set up is Shimano too, and he was like, 'No, I've never seen these.' Had to explain to him that the rod and reel are for the JDM mostly, and quite tricky to source for.

He did a few casts and was so impressed. I had to write down my set up for him on a piece of paper.

IDk what are you looking for, and I've been checking out the tackle stores here in the various boroughs. Nothing in the conventional/spinning tackle stores that I fancy.

There is a fly tackle store in mid-town Manhatten that is really decent and which sells some really decent stuff.

just wondering if there are any stores that carry any jdm bass stuff.

I restocked on some of my lures from here:

Based on my experiences, Keitech swim impact rubber lures work really well here across many saltwater species. Whats tricky is mating the lure with the right weight due to ever changing currents.

This is good for Megabass stuff:

For the passer-by's sake, I hope you did not include this web address!
