Tying braided line to regular mono
My house was built when I was 3 years old. I bought in in 2004. My cat has
requested weekly electrolysis to deal with what she thinks is excess facial hair. She thinks I should pay for the treatments. A train approaches Kodak's Rochester factory, derails, and dumps something which melts through the asphalt on the adjacent street, but is theoretically harmless. With these factors in mind, can braided fishing line (like Berkley Fireline) be tied directly to regular mono, or are the two best joined with a swivel? And, when did the train leave Baltimore? |

Braided line is best spooled with a backing of mono and it's common to
tie the two together - unless you have a tig welder in Batimore. In which case, weld the braid onto the spool before the next train leaves. Or, use feline facial hair as the backing and forego the welder. Do not attempt to weld facial hair back onto a cat unless you are three years old and bought a house in 2004.

Some of the East Coast charters will put you on fish with overly heavy gear, but you do not get to keep the fish, they keep and sell after you paid to go on the boat. |

I do it all the time. Swivels are too visible to fish. Fishing test. What's a bimini? A knot used to double up a line. I hardly have use them. They're a pain in the arse to tie. ESPECIALLY with limp braided line. That is tied on braided line all the time on long range tuna boats out of San Diego. Perhaps on those boats, "one has someone" to do the nasty work while one holds one's cocktail. That is true, you can have the crew tie it for you. Tip well. Might as well go to the grocery store and buy the fish, just about as much fishing involved. Why would you say that? Because it's a true statement. Been there, done that. Nothing exciting about going out to "fish", have someone tie you up, bait you up, get you down to the right depth, THEN, they let you hold the rod. Reel in with enthusiasm when you get a 20# fish on 100# test line, then hand it to them again so they can take the fish off for you. Have at it, but for me, no thanks. I actually ENJOY the sport of fishing, and don't want anybody doing it for me. If the sole purpose is to get fish to eat, I'll go to the grocery store. Do everything but tie the Bimini Twist. They are not hooking and handing off on SD boats. And you can release the fish. Last trip out of Marina Del Rey, only Calico Bass and perch biting. Kept none. Never keep Calicos. Not true. I've been on many different party boats, and charters in many different locations. One thing they ALL have in common, is liability. THAT is why they do the catching for you, while you get to hold to rod until a fish gets on. I've asked several times, can I handle my own bait and fish? One, in Tarpon Springs, FL, let me bait, but not gaff and take my grouper. The Wacky Jacky, out of San Franscisco won't even let you bait, and the captain stated is was purely because of California liability laws. Maybe Jacky Douglas figured you could not get the bait right. Every boat I have ever gone on allows you to bait your own hook. Norcal, or SoCal. Some of the East Coast charters will put you on fish with overly heavy gear, but you do not get to keep the fish, they keep and sell after you paid to go on the boat. Oh, so because you are wrong, you are now going to become an ass and contend that it was only for MY benefit that they bait EVERYONES hook on the Wacky Jacky? And are you contending that the Capt. DIDN'T state that liability laws in CA won't allow them to allow you to bait and release fish?? When you are wrong, turning into a condescending ass certainly doesn't do anything for your credibility. I have never been on a party boat in California that baits your hook for you, or heard that statement. I have fished on both NorCal and SoCal boat. You are the one who sounds like an ass! The SoCal live bait boats even give a seminar on bait tank edicate. |

When you are around, go ask Jacky, she's the one who told me why that is! Now, why am I an ass? Are you doubting what Jacky told me? Go ask her! |
