I'm a fan of Chota's. They last and are comfortable but more important to me are the bungee laces they sell. The last pair I bought did not come with them :cry: but for about $10 I ordered bungees from them and swapped them out for the string laces. Nothing better than using the bungee laces to qui...

Korkers, not surprised, mine didn't hold up well at all. I'm a 2 time loser with them. I'll be switching brands. Chota is the way to go, best felt soles I ever had, last pair the soles outlasted the uppers. My brother has Korkers - :cry: Im gonna try the Chota next thx I believe you will be happy, ...

Yep, no need for an early start with Carp. Always did my best back in the day late morning into the afternoon with spinning gear and corn. Should be interesting with fly gear this Summer. I've seen corn flies for sale, may pickup a few - LOL

Very nice. Many say they are ugly. I disagree. If you don't mind me asking where where you fishing, not exact location? I'm going to give them a try along with Pike this Summer in the Passaic.

Sorry, can't help with the book. If you ever fish it please post some pics.

Nice! Guess there is a club nearby.

I've fished it three times, no fish, however one trip I did come across a nine inch dead brown in the stream so there must be some in there.

Yep saw some last Friday late morning.

Nice jacket. If you don't me asking what did that set you back?

Grundens had a sale on them for $299.99

Great deal, that is a nice jacket, will last a loooong time.

looks like the stocked the delayed harvest with some nice fish

They always do!

Congratulations!!!

95% of my fishing is with Tenkara rods, so I've gone super minimalist about five years ago. Learned I need very little of anything for a day on any stream/river. I use a small utility pack by Yakoda. I attached paracord so I can sling it around my shoulder, nippers, forceps, couple spools of tippet,...

I happen to know, something...

Spill it - LOL

Very nice.

My understanding is NJ and surrounding states does not rely on snowpack for ground water like the western states. We need rain, if we get at least the norm for the next few months we should be OK for Spring.

Early noodle rod, before there were "noodle" rods.
