Good rod/reel setup for striped bass?

Thursday, March 25th, 2010
Hello all! I’ve got a quick question for the striper anglers here at CupidFish. What’s a good rod/reel setup for striped bass? I’ve been fishing off the surf in NJ. I already have a descent bait rod now I just need to buy a rod to throw lures i.e poppers, bombers, diamond jigs, bucktails, etc. What size, brand rod should I get? What kind of reel? (lb test/yards). I’m looking to spend anywhere from $100 to $150. Thanks- Josh

A dating disaster to get over?

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

A dating disaster to get over maybe? Hey all, I am 43 dating a man who is 37 and we’ve been dating now for eight months. He divorced a year ago from a seven year marriage. in truth, we’ve had our ups and downs but always worked our way through any of the problems. The main problem now is he lied to me about making a profile on Plenty Of Fish after we were dating about 4 months and apologized and said he was going to take it off the site. I later found out instead of deleting the profile he just put it on hold. I forgave him and we went on and two weeks ago his profile was back up. I know it had been on prior to 2 weeks ago, I just found out 2 weeks ago. I called him on it and he made the statement that he felt rejected. I asked him what he meant. The best answer was just rejected. I then also found out he had been on several dates, dating web sites etc. I then gave him the boot. Since that time he has called me, came over to my house (I didn’t) answer the door, left msg’s on my phone. He just can’t get the message I don’t want to be with him. I do believe history repeats its self and I am to old to play games.. What am to to do? I am so very hurt and mad at the same time. What a complete and total let down..

Thanks for listening- Norma

Marine radio for a bass boat?

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010
My brother is an aspiring bass amateur, who will be fishing in quite a few tournaments this summer. He does not have a radio on the boat, and I would like to purchase one for him for his birthday. It would also be a good idea while he fishes, and peace of mind for me knowing he can get the weather updates. He has a beautiful Nitro Bass boat, and I know I would like to have it be Sirius compatible, but other than that I am clueless as to what I should be shopping for. Any suggestions bass-anglers and  boaters? Thanks so much!- Sunfish

Texas Gulf Coast shore fishing

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

Texas Gulf Coast shore fishing. I’ll be heading down soon and I don’t have to have top of the line equipment, but I would like to invest in reasonably priced, good equipment that will last. I am aiming to catch red fish, SW trout, pompano, and other medium sized fish out of the shore/surf.

Before I go is there any brand names, and specs on what kind of equipment to get for fishing in the surf in the Texas Gulf Coast you’d suggest?. Namely, rod, reel, line weight, weights, etc…the basics for someone with no equip!!! Thanks in advance!

Fishing gear Company stock?

Monday, March 22nd, 2010
This might sound odd, but does anyone know any Fishing gear Company stock? Meaning, does anyone know if fishing gear names (i.e. shakespear) have anything on the stock-market? or their stock symbol? I’m looking to invest but I want to invest in a stock that I am familiar with and know a thing or two about.- Thanks

What’s your story behind your fishing gear?

Sunday, March 21st, 2010
What’s your story behind your fishing gear? We all have one? One of my fondest rod and reel is the Hess fishing rod and reel combo that I found abandoned at the pond I fished at. I had lost one the other day to a carp that dragged it underwater, because I forgot to secure my fishing rod. I came back the next day hoping that I would float to shore, but I found an abandoned fishing rod. I have caught many fish with that rod. Thanks whoever!
