Review: The Power of Suction Cups? Sea Sucker’s Mini Bomber Bike Rack | Stud Link Double Swivel Anchor Chain

But Sterling wasn’t just about jewelry. It was also about selling credit cards and payment-protection plans and extended warranties. Many of the women told me that stores had quotas for that, and sometimes, when things got desperate, saleswomen were sent to the food court to flirt with men and get them to come apply for a credit card. “If you could fog up a mirror,” one woman told me the saying went, “you could get a credit line.” Salespeople were sometimes instructed by managers to charge customers without their consent for payment-protection plans to meet their store quotas. If the customer got home and saw the charge on the receipt, he could call customer service and get it refunded, but it could still count toward the store goal, so win-win. Occasionally they could persuade the customers to run their Social Security numbers for applications, because even if they didn’t qualify, just running the numbers would allow the store to hit its targets. That was not the fun part, but what were you going to do? It was all in the name of showing how valuable they were in their jobs, how they were willing to do what needed to be done. (Sterling says it retired its payment-protection plans in 2017.)

Yeah with you being a fly fishing purist I can understand not being interested in fishing deep. It’s something easy to do to get a bite if you jig on the ar reefs.

Even if the anchor drifts a bit, this process will at least give you a feel for the bottom, and that is valuable knowledge. Of course, you have already scrutinized the depth sounder to get a feel for foul ground. Don’t fall into a casual attitude of “She’ll be right, mate.” If the set isn’t firm and exactly where you want it, do it again. Ten more minutes of work now will translate into hours more sleep tonight. Look around with a suspicious eye at the vessels in your area. Notice if they are anchored or on moorings, as that will dramatically affect the diameter of their swing. How much scope do the anchored vessels have out? Where will the winds be in the night? What will the turn of the tide do? Look for the usual suspects: vessels with thin or chafed rope rodes, mooring lines not led through proper chocks, bottoms obviously fouled. If a vessel has been neglected long enough to be declared a marine reserve, probably so has the ground tackle to which it’s attached.

St Croix has a 7 weight fly rod that’s the bass mojo line it looks good only stick is it’s moderate fast and only 7-11", anyone ever used this rod to see how it handles?

Edit pardon my old mind but I’ve forgotten all the data points I used to know when I floated it extensively but I used to have a piece of paper with the data points for optimal fishing on those rivers I’ll try and find it I haven’t been on either river in two years now even for a cruise I just pass over it every day to work and laugh when it got stupidly high this weekend so I’ve got James River and other numbers in my old spots in my brain.

After their shifts end, sailors can soak in deep stainless steel seawater baths that follow Japan’s traditional bathing culture, or take a shower with clean water.

As you near the docks to drop anchor, a warm glow emanating from the dreamy twinkling lights and candles adorning the baroque porch greets you. The world is your “Rockefeller” oyster, baked and stuffed to the brim with reggiano gratinee of blue crab and spinach, Maine lobster bearnaise and applewood bacon. Let your intrigued gaze travel along the bountiful menu from the Burgundy Escargots Ophelia, dressed to the nines with elf mushrooms, black truffle champagne nage, basil butter and warm pastry bouchee, to the Atlantic swordfish pan-seared with macadamia-cilantro pesto, to the rack of lamb en sous vide with candied walnut chevre crust.  Ophelia’s on the Bay, 9105 Midnight Pass Rd., Sarasota, 941- 349-2212

The Carrera Vulcan Women’s Mountain Bike is great for hitting hills or trails in any conditions. With Suntour front suspension any bumps will be seemless, while its 27 speed Shimano gearing ensures hills will be a piece of cake. 

I have fun catching the little pomps with my cast net. Throw them in a 5 gallon bucket…the kids play with them for a few minutes…then we toss them back. Never tried to clean one! Good tip on the soft fleas. I’ll look for them to use for the flounder. Hope to post pics for you guys.

With its stunning iron frame cage design and brass plated top, the Nout Brass Plated Side Table is sure to be an eye-catching addition wherever it is placed. The combination of black and brass brings an instant sophistication that will look gorgeous whatever room you pop it in. 

Forget your inhibitions—there is no judgement at captain curt’s bar and sniki tiki. Located in Captain Curt’s Village by Turtle Beach, this is the place you go when you want to be taken back in time to an “Old Florida” era where good seafood was a standard and prices were reasonable. Famous for their crab cakes and “World’s Best” Clam Chowder, Captain Curt’s remains a local favorite because of its quick service and relaxed scene.The outdoor tiki bar/patio serves soul food and tropical drinks until 2am. Play pinball or foosball inside while bands jam out live music. Captain Curt’s, 1200 Old Stickney Point Rd., Sarasota, 941-349-3885.

Lines should also be larger in diameter to resist chafe and excessive stretching. Generally you should use 1/2-inch line on boats up to 25 feet, 5/8-inch line for boats 25 to 34 feet and 3/4 to one-inch line for larger boats. Double up on critical lines. Use chafe gear wherever the line comes in contact with anything such as chocks, pulpits, pilings or trees.
