Hello, I have a Cardiff 200A, used it twice now. Both times when I get a fish of any size, I find that I can turn the reel but no line is retrieved--and i'm losing them (Tautog). The drag seems fine, the fish isn't able to take much or any line, but the handle turns and the reel picks up...

Just bought several Stick Shadds Sz 155 floating, last week, the one in Sea Chrome I've used twice and noticed it sank slowly, where the others floated on the surface. Got home and weighed it 2.51 ozs thats the weight of their suspending lures in tha 155s now I know why it sinks. So I thought I...

I read a thread a few day's ago and I can't find it. Anyhow it was about limiting striper caught to 1, slot limit, or other choice. What I gathered is that some are in fear the fish is being overfished. Well I see a solution for Sport and Commercial fisherman, I just don't know if some states...

Hi Guys, I really need some sound advice on this one. My father-in-law gave me one of his old boat poles years ago and it had a Penn140 Squidder on it. I've enjoyed fishing with the pole even though it was pretty beat up. With no fish in the surf at this time i was looking for a project and...

Just came off the water early with a potential (?) concern: I've got an '84 Grady White - 60HP '90 Johnson VRO engine. My CONCERN is while I was out this morning the voltage meter was reading between 17 and 18 volts - I understand there can be a couple volt jump while the motor is running, but I...

Nub here, So I was out fishing on Saturday after my wife went shoe shopping(FREEDOM!).....Was at Nut Island pier when I caught a fish(not exactly sure what it was but seems like bluefish). It was really windy so it was hard to tell just by looking at the pole but when I picked up my pole, I...

Ok I know the law here and I know I broke it. But please read anyway. Theres a spot I have been fishing for 20 years. Since I was a kid. I have yet to leave a piece of trash. I usually bring more trash out then I come in with. It used to be an old beach club. Now there is a private community...

I have an 88 200 horse mercury blackmax. I can raise the engine with no problem when I need to lower it it takes like 10 minutes and then it just kicks in goes down. While I'm in gear and going when I try and trim it out it doesn't hold. I think I need to add fluid it but I have no idea...
