After a few trips, I'm happy with the Penn Pursuit. 20lb braid and it is a long distance casting machine. However, 3000 size is a little too big for the inshore marsh stuff we do. Out of the 3 rod/reels I bring, I use it the least. However it will have a place for when we go after the bigger...

That is crazy. What do y'all do for some type of under coating protection? I imagine you would do a coating when it's brand new.

Billy, I stand corrected. Being from down here we don’t see rust problems like y’all experience up north. Never heard anyone say anything bad about them before. The older Tacoma is a highly valued vehicle here, but I see how the early models had a box frame that caused a big corrosion...

Billy, I believe you should have kept that Tacoma. You would be in possession of the rarest one ever made. Could be a collector. LOL

Our water pressure finally is strong enough for a shower this morning. However temps going down to 26 next two nights, so I imagine it will be ***** baths until Mon/Tues. LOL Our utility system just isn’t prepared for any type of extended freezing weather. Based on history, it doesn’t make...

My “Iced Out” Excursion Project. LOL

I had that exact Tacoma 98 reg cab 4x4 5 spd 4 cyl. It was awesome. I don't remember a 6 spd ever being available. That truck was a mountain goat. I put 33's on it and did some serious wheeling in it. I put 270k miles on it and just did oil/filters/tires/brakes. Literally zero broken stuff. One...

No water since 3pm CST. Our water system/company is terrible. Our water goes out every time we have a hard freeze more than 1 day. Been going on for years. We stocked up on water Sunday, did all laundry Monday, got fuel for generator just incase it gets crazy. I just keep a 5 gal bucket of pool...

Right out of high school I was stationed in Korea 1990-1992 about 14km south of the DMZ and was introduced to real cold weather. My coonass self from the bayou was driving tracked vehicles and 2-1/2 trucks up and down iced over 1 lane mountain village roads! LOL. I did fine though, only killed 1...

I feel bad for you guys. It’s 18 degrees here in South La, but with no snow. Lots of ice. Entire South La is shut down. We don’t have equipment to deal with the roads etc. It will be 70 degrees on Thursday though. Also it will be 100 degrees with 97% humidity in Aug/Sept. That’s when we suffer...

I can see that.

Rare 18 degree morning here in South La. People freak the hell out here over a little snow and ice, so everything is closed. Thought I would update this thread for future searchers. The 1860cc is working out great. So far I've used it for deer hunting in skinny backwaters of Atchafalaya Basin...

I have to say, the last 2 times we went redfishing in the marsh shallows, we just dropped an anchor and it worked out great. There was an anchor that came with my boat when I bought it. If you have the anchor already out on deck and ready, it's pretty quiet too. I'm not going to rush out and buy...

My Pursuit IV 3000 combo is on the way. I returned the 4000 to Academy, but they didn’t have any 3000 left in the country, allegedly. I think that model is being phased out. So I ordered one from Bass Pro. Hope it gets here before Sunday. We are going to the famous Hackberry area south of Lake...

Big ol’ stripers!!!! Nice fishing man.
