HmgRock needs to come to SD.

In fact, he should come to ND with us.

I fish buffalo fishes and giant crappies  at Marsh Lake. There are few white basses  there.

@Reporter.

What fish do you target in Appleton?  If its white bass, have you try S. Dakota?

What hooks can outdo a 200-lb. or  even just 65-lb. line?

I don't fish enough to create wears on my lines.

Damn

You need some stronger hook than
A lot of rookies
I see breaking lines

1. Using 5lbs
2. Using line that is 5 years+++ old
3.  Gotta replace your whole line system at the start of the season

Wear and tear

He’s from MN

I think you mean me
River around in that area is nothing but white bass
You do get a few varieties
But most of the time it’s white bass

I know y’all like to google and wiki

Try.

Yes, I know he is from MN.

I was thinking about her just the other day.

Boy she loved me long time, would do anything for me and buy me things but I wasn't feeling her on that level. 

I mean I was pissed drunk on the street and a buddy called the first chick in my Fon and she came through, driving 2 hours to pick my azz up and snuck me into her parents house.  I woke up naked though.  I must of got rape n I liked it.  Wish I knew what went down to enjoy it though. 

Young and dumb, I was not looking for a long term gal.  I ghosted her one day after Valentine's day.  She founded out I was talking to another chick on Myspace and called me out. 

She loved me to the point of being psycho. 

Now I can't even find someone like her for round 2 n marry me.

Third week in a row that I went straight to the ocean to fish after my shift was over. 

Went to half Moon Bay jetty and my first cast had my reel peeling.  For sure it felt big n fought hard n I thought it was a sting Ray.  It ended up being a nice striper that hits my lucky craft minnow that I bought online for $15 but was intended to catch them smaller games off the surf like surf perch.  The waves were pounding so I could not get to the bottom rocks.  I got it to the rocks when a kid went down to help me land it.  One hand on the line and the other hand trying to land that fish.  When you do that, you tend to lose fish if the fish decided to make another run. 

Yep, you betcha, fish off but my goal was to see what that was and to break the virginity of my new lure.  Also it was my first surf striper and I lost it.  Technically I did not lose it.  I would have flown that fish onto the rocks on my own.  I casted out the next one and had a big strike again but no stick.  I checked my hook and yep, it was all bended

The one that got away from me yesterday evening.  I was going to catch and release anyway so trying to land that fish, I no care.  I've catch plenty of stripers in my days but from the river system so nothing is new to me cept for that goal of catching one from the salt water system. 

Now I know the spot, i got a week to pre meditate my fishing tactics till then. 

Life is meaningful when you have something to look forward to ya know?
