I am hoping for an article on how to grow my own hemp seeds
Hey---I'f I could find my notes from the 1970's----I could prolly do a good one.
(EDIT) Seriously--this would be a good subject for it's own thread. Growing ones on hemp seed ould be childs play. Making sure that you didn't run into legal problems with growing, or even possesing hemp seeds is another issue altogether.
A good drug dog WILL go nuts if they get a whiff of hemp seeds. If I get a chance--I'll start one in off topic--so that the inevidable jokes don't get the thread hacked .

If they fix them and you renew then Im out.
Paypal works for me. !!!!
Nice try Neil.

In fact--I havn't seen it in a couple of years.
PS---After be-yatching for over a year--I will NOT renew until somebody fixes the #$$@$
<_< smilies on here. It's as bad as having to "Press One For English" everytime you post. Whoever arranged them must be severly depressed-------because you have to go to the second window to get a HAPPY smilie.

Title of Thread:
Dave Moore..., Working on an NC 30+...
Thats KOOL !!!
I heard that Dave had "suggested"
that he'd like to "meet me". If thats the case and he shows up anywhere in NC----I'd be more than willing to stop by for a quick "Howdy Session".
PM me if he's still interested.

i have charter is not a problem for me ) but it does gett annoying waitng for the site to resize them heres and idea to thos epeople. put your camera at medium quality NOT HIGH
but thats if they dont have one of the online photo albums and have to upload onto the site from their documents. usuallly if you have photobucket or flickr they resize theimages for you at the upload so they are at like a 500 pixels x 800pixels if i remember right. and it alows you to edit to 4 different sizes. (varies by shape of picture)
1. message board - 640x480
2. website & email - 320x 240
3. thumbnail - 160x 120
4. avatar- 100 x 75
Good stuff Jake. You interested in a tech job on another board???
JMHO--from what little I know-----pics intended for posting on a board should be uploaded to that board---not to photobucket or any other source. Sure--It works--but it's not a direct link, and can cause some delay (nano seconds--but still not the propUr way)
Plus--images on provider sites may not be there a year from now.
There's thousands of RED X's all over this board because of that.

Resizing Pictures Pinned Post
800x600 is a good size for most peoples monitors and no more than 96dpi can be viewed on the internet anyway.
The CAG gallery is always available to those who want to post full size images that they can point people to.
Thats good info for someone who knows a little about posting pics, but doesn't help total newbies very much.
We could really use some discussion on whether camera settings would make things easier, and a chat as to how to save pics so they will be in the right format, and easy to find.
I've had 20 PM's in the last week about Pics on SP. I'm going to have to do a pics for dummies post myself-----but to be honest--I'm not to sharp on some of this stuff.
I'm sure that there's a lot of people who are experts at this stuff, and simply overlook the fact that there' a lot of others who don't hve a clue.
It would be great if somebody who REALLY know something about images would try to explain it ---on a VERY BASIC level.
JMHO

How about folks just resizing their pics! Can't seem to figure that one out, it isn't that hard. Even I can do it!
David
How about somebody write a good step by step tutorial on posting pics?
Start with what settings to use on the camers.
"splain" how to save the pics.
"splain" how to resize them-----resizing for dummies.
Then--splain how to post--and how many pics to upload to each post?????
Even if there's a good one on here---bring it back to the top somehow. I run Broadband and a fast pc and mine's had a nervous breakdown a time or two also.

Check back to the next place..............Tom's buddy Buster mentioned a chap named Jack!!

Yeah. I know Jack--pretty well.
Tom said that he
, and I believe him if he says so.

You are getting your UK angling styles mixed up. The match anglers are the only fair comparison to Paylake styles..they have to catch in less than five hours or lose their money...The big heavy mixes you are referring to are used by the Carp specimen guys who can wait a whole weekend for a take...or longer.. many of the off the shelf UK match mixes when dry almost have the consistency of flour, sometimes they are even fed in liquid form for an ultra low feed high attract aproach. There are some mixes that have higher particle content but they are for peak times when the fish are really having it...
Mark, I'm not capable of mixing up the UK styles, because I don't even take match fishing into account. From what little I know about it it doesn't even seem to qualify as "carp" fishing to me. ( ignorance on my part perhaps, but there's very little info on here about it, and to be honest, I don't read any topic that deals with match fishing).
I'm not knocking it now, just don't know anything about it. .

[While the question was not directed to me it is however a good question. I am of the opinion that the major difference is the difference in the baits used with the seasons (( so far as the paylakers go )), and the use of the same old stuff year round with the Euro crowd.
The make up of yor chum is just as important as your bait. I say this in the context of wild water angling.
ps I don't know jack but I do catch wildwater carp.
Tom.
No offense ment, but the concept of the seasonal bait changes is somewhat real, but certainly not the territory. As far as I know, PC Collins was the guy who first pushed the seasonal concept on the Internet, and I guess that there are still people who believe it, and try to push it as their own ideas. There is something to it, but it's sure not the law at most paylakes. Still, If you look at the paylake bait used back in the 1980's when that idea first showed up, then you certainly can find reasons why some of those baits would only work at certain water temps. Thats a whole nudder ball of wax, and paylakes have changed a lot since then.
I think that the Euro crowd are pretty sharp too, and have picked up on a lot of the paylake methods. I think that they could learn a lot more from the guys who are hard core paylakers now. These guys are using the Internet, and ain't afraid to try new things--even some adaptations of the Euro methods.
PS--Like I said, I DO know Jack. And Jack knows carp.
He IS the real deal. Jack may have never fished a "world class" wildwater event, but "Jack"s put ton of big yellows and Buffs in the paylakes. I do apologise if I'm stepping on anyone's toes by posting "unapproved" info. Mark da Shark posted:
From my experience using a small fine powdered method without any sizeable freebies, is that I catch smaller fish, but I get plenty of them. 95% of my fishing is concentrated on locations where there really isn't any carp larger than 20lb, and slow to zero current.When I fish the big rivers, the Connecticut river for example. I use a much heavier, larger particle method mix. So as to not have it washed down stream or break before it hits the bottom in 25ft of water.
Mark, I'd say that you're dead on, even when it comes to paylakes. Even in NC, paylakes are very different in the different part of the states. In one part of the state. the pegs tend to be spaced really close together, and they only fish two rods. They also tend to run programs that pay every 15 minutes, to every half hour.
In my neck of the woods, the lakes are usually bigger, are spaced 2-3 times as wide, and fish 3-4 rods. The pay every hour, plus run much bigger pots for the big fish.
It's a different game. On a lake that pays every 15 minutes or half hour, catching peckerheads can pay. On the central NC lakes, it's a game of going after a few big fish. Thats the reason that I will apply something closer to the method style of baits. Where I fish, those alarms can scream all night long, and you can still walk away broke.
Good discussion IMHO. I'll paylake Euro--if it will win. For real paylakers--winning IS everything. Anything else is just first loser.
-
PS--I do want to make it clear that I'm not trying to sound like I know jack about wildwater. I just hapen to know Jack, and he told me a few things.
Only posting anything in the context of the original question. Mixed particles = chicken scratch.

Buster,
What real difference is there between the paylake style of using packbait and the wildwater style using The Method.
I have fished The Method for a while now, and I still cannot see what the difference is.
I don't always use a hair rig when using The Method, and I would class a small piece of canned corn or garbonzo as a "pick up". So what is the real difference?
Mark, if you go back and read post about the method from 4-5 years ago in the carp boards, and compare them to post and recipes from today, I think that you will see some differences. The reality is that while the method and pack are made from the same ingredients, the end result is slightly difference---kinda like comparing bread to crackers--same ingredients, different end product.
I had a long, and sometimes loud conversation with a Brit friend of mine several years ago concerning pack -n- pops vs. method and boilies. At that time, anything you read about method seemed to evolve around how many different types of chit you could put in a mix, and there were NEVER any discussions on how long it should take for a method ball to break. my Brit friend was adamant that it should take hours for the ball to break, because the Brit style required that a bait be useful and stay in place for hours. That seemed to be the mindset back then too.
Three years latter, there's been a ton of info posted on the web about breaking packbaits, and most of the Euro guys are taking that into account now. by the same token, some of the paylakers have learned to roll propUr boilies in the size and composition of material needed for paylake fishing.
The one big glaring difference between pack and method that still stands out is most peoples meth mix still has a lot of different ingredients in it, while most pack is made from one single particle, and the only other things that go in are a wetter, flavor, and maybe 1-2 secret ingredients. Method recipes seem like a hodge podge, while most pack is really basic. It's basic because thats what works in paylakes. Pack will catch in payponds and in wildwater, but I still havn't seen a meth mix that would work in a paylake.
I have played around with hybrid pack/method type mixes, and have had some negative comments posted when I suggested adding some larger soaked particles to basic packs. There are certain conditions in paylakes where I've seen a combination pack/meth bait work very well. Well enough that I'll never discuss it on any message board again.
Still, the answer to your question os that when you guys mix grains, eggs and water together, you get gruel, and when we do it--it comes out as cake.
Same chit------but still different.
I think that in 10 years the Brits will be throwing a new "super" method mix made from corn thats been soaked in lye, and then dried, rehydrated and cooked, and then dried again and ground into fine particles.
Heck---I may even consider selling Kev Nash the home recipe.
He'd make millions. t

Could you explain further please?
There's not really a lot to explain. It boils down to what seems to me to be the different phylosophy between Euro/method style fishermen and paylakers/packbaiters.
I'm winging it here to, because the only thing I know about Euro methods is what I read, and 96.6 % of my wildwater knowledge comes from either talking to wildwater friends/former customers, or from an occasional wildwater gig with some friends who catch for fun, and profit.
What it boils down to though is that the paylakers that I know who fish wildwater pretty much fish with the same mind set they use at paylakes.
Keep in mind that packbait was developed as a way to chum--and catch in one package. Paylakes don't allow you to throw chit in the water to draw fish, so the packbait evolved as a way to throw a fish attracting chum and a hookbait using a rod and reel.
My pals work along the same lines, but in wildwater they can dump chum.
The thing that sets these paylakers apart from most Euro guys is that what they chum with isn't much different than most packbaits, at least in particle size. They do NOT want many large particles in their holes. They chum with fine ground grains. I'm assuming that the ground grain probably creates a much faster scent trail for the fish to follow then whole corn, and makes them work hard, and stay around longer in order to get a belly full.
They pretty much never use whole corn, and rarely use plain cracked corn. Depending on the lakes they're fishing, regardless of the time of year, they will chum with soaked scratch feed, or with a mix of scratch and oats.
When they fish, they almost always throw grits over scratch, and oats over a scratch/oats chum mix. The chum is usually lightly flavored, and the actual packbait will have the same flavor (whatever it is). Hook baits are usually pops dipped in a diluted flav mix, except late at night when they may sleep, and then they fish a puff and a turkey bean on the same hook.
JMHO--Their method does work, and It seems that by using relativly fine ground chum, they get the fish hungry and frustrated, and they will jump on a hookbait thats real mouthfull in a second.
T
PS----I'm not saying one method is better than another, but in the context of the question asked on this thread, it seems that scratch feed, and the tankers way of using it was somewhat fitting.
I'm working on an article now---(based on discussions with a number of dang good fishermen) along these same lines. Not my opinions, and no smoke and mirrors---just info from some guys who can "Get 'er Done".
-
I think that what you are using for a hook bait would determine the composition of your ground bait. If your using maise put some maise in it, if your using boilies put some bolies in it.
please excuse the one handed typing here---
the local guys who tank carp use the opposite approach, they use chum---thats the us term--that will attract fish, and make them work for a meal. small particles-------never ever whole grain corn.
then, when they drop a hook bait with some substance in the mix, the fish have something to go after.
t
-
Ok... I have read up on the pre baiting idea, some say corn, some say birdseed, some say boilies with lots of protien, why not a mix of all 3 in an area?
Just get "scratch feed". Thats plain old unadulterated chicken feed. Mostly cracked corn, but depending on the mill, usually has wheat, and other grains.
Much cheaper, and usually better than anything.
Fill a 5 gal bucket half full, and pour 1-2 gallons of HOT water over it and let soak for an hour----or a few days. You can use it dry, but some will float away. Soak it and it will sink. You can add flavoUr if you want---especially if it's "nannernut".
Works for the tankers anywho.

No renewal package, no new card just a sticker to stick on your card and continued discounts at tackle suppliers all across the USA and continued access to the members only area of the boards.
So weigh and decide. I made the decision to renew after the boards and moderation got better. It's good now.
Yes it is.
Probably because some of the changes that Sarah had been begging for were finaly acted on. (after the fact though)

lmfao, that bottom one is the funniest thing I;ve ever seen.

A 3 generation trip....had to be fun. Great pics. I'd been told you couldn't drive in the sand anymore...guess my sources are unreliable When I was stationed at Ft Bragg...71 - 78....we used to do that a lot...miss the surf and pier fishing too. Thanks for sharing. BTW....what rods are you using????
There used to be about 50 miles of beach open to driving years ago, but it's down to about 20 now. Sections of that are routinly closed whenever a D#@$ piping Plover decides to lay an egg on the beach.
There was a deal a few months ago where a Federal Judge ordered the beaches closed because the Nat. Park Service had not submitted a required study/plan concerning beach driving, but that little fiasco lasted less than 24 hours. The Park Service actually refused to comply with the ruling/
As far as rods, we were loaded for anything. On any given day there would be a dozen rods on the rack.
(1) 12 ft' Tica with a Diawa slosh30 (20 class outfit--8-n-bait
(1) 12 ft' Tica with a Diawa slosh 20 (15 class outfit--up to 8-n-bait
(1) 11.5' Tica with a Abu 6500 Trophy Series--Level Wind removed--15 pound--used for 4-6 and bait
(1) 11.5 Pinnacle with a Diawa slosh 30 (20 class up to 12 -n-bait
(1) 12 ft' Ugly Stik with a Diawa slosh50, 25-30 class--used for sharkin
(1) 10 ft Diawa Sealine, with a Abu 6600--used for panfish
(1) 10 ft Diawa Sealine with a Carpmaster--used for panfish
(2-3) 7.5 carp rods with Abu 6500's for panfish, trout or flounder
(1) Cabelas Predator with an Abu 6600 for slingin metal
(2) 6-7 ft' light spin outfits for trout jiggin
The majority of the pups came on the tica's with the slosh20 and the 6500 trophy. They were usually feeding on the bar which required cast of 100-150 yards. Several were caught on the light spin rods, which was a lot of fun.

Awesome, once again great photos!
Tom
Thanks. We could have taken a lot more but we tried to get the pup's back in the water asap. You can keep one fish per person per day if they fall within a certain size/slot llimit, but we only kept 2 fish all week.

nice surfin...outer banks is one of my favs for surf fishing .
So---is the new truck a 4x4?????? If so then you WILL be set for HI.

Awesome job Tim Loving the pics. The weather there definitely beats 6" of snow!
For the first 5 days the weather was beautiful. More like June than November. Last two days were cooler, but still nice.
Great stuff, Looks like it was a great time for all the family. What were you using clams?It's odd but very few people use clams in NC. Most of the Pups were caught on chunks of mullet or menhadden (The kind of fish that most fishmeal is made of).

Here's a few pics from Thanksgiving week on Hatteras Island.
The fishing was not what you'd expect for this time of year. The fish migrations are about 1 month off schedule, with warm water fish still in the surf, and the usual Srtiped Bass still up North.
We didn't get any big Red Drum or big Stripers, but caught plenty of Puppy Drum between 24" and 30" (length in inches). Also caught all the Northern Whiting (Sea Mullet) any sane person would want to clean.
