IS THE MERC 15 PRO-KICKER NOW PERFECT ❓❓❓

"JETTYWOLF LIVE" - keep AMERICA great!!  7/4/2019

OH THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF GETTING A STEERING TIE ROD ON MY MERCURY 15 PRO-KICKER OUTBOARD MOTOR CONNECTED TO MY SEA STAR HYDRAULIC STEERING ON MY MAIN 250 SUZUKI.

I GUESS, I WAS ASKING FOR SOMETHING VERY UNCONVENTIONAL (????) BECAUSE THERE'S NO REAL WAY OF JUST 'HOOKING UP'' ANY STEERING ROD TO THE MERC 15, WITHOUT ''CREATIVE ENGINEERING'' aka: MACGYVERING IT❗❗❗

CAN'T SAY THAT THERE'S JUST A EZ WAY TO TAKE '''''ANY'''' PANTHER TIE BAR SYSTEM, AND JUST HOOK IT UP.

THE ENTIRE SAGA:

6/21 - OMG THE WEST WIND❗❗❗❗❗❗❗☠

HTTPS://WWW.CAPTDAVES.COM -JACKSONVILLE FISHING CHARTERS

EVERYDAY, EVERY CALL ''PRACTICALLY'' ALL SUMMER IS 4 PEOPLE. WHY???
ITS NOT LIKE THAT IN THE WINTER.

WITH 2-3 WITH VERY LOW EXPERIENCE, USUALLY. 
I USUALLY WON'T BE TREKKING UP RIVER WITH 4, TO FLOAT-RIG FISH.

TODAY, ADD IN 20 KNOT WINDS FROM THE WNW, AND YOU HAVE BRUTAL CONDITIONS!

STARTED OUT AT THE SHRIMP BOATS, ABOUT 2 MILES OUT. SHARK FISHING.

HAD SEVERAL SMALLER 30 POUNDERS, SPEEDY, BUT NOT HEAVY WEIGHTS.

THEN A BBBIG BOY! AND IT DUMPED THE SPOOL SOMETHING FIERCE.

MY BOY ON THE ROD, WAS BRUTALIZED, HE WAS OFFICIALLY BUTT - KICKED!

THEN, AFTER 30 MINUTES WE LOST IT, TO A PULLED HOOK. DAMMIT.

WENT BACK IN THE RIVER TO SIT IN THE WICKED WIND AND FISH SHRIMP AND CUT BAIT.
ZERO BULL REDS.....BUT WE DID CATCH AND PUT IN THE FISH BOX SOME .........

ENORMOUS WHITING.

BIGGER THAN KEEPER SIZE SPECKLED TROUT.

15+ INCHES. 

NOW DATS SOME BULL '''WHITING''!

IF WE COULD HAVE HAD 25 OR 30 OF THESE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A ''MESS''.
BUT ONLY A DOZEN.

THEY WERE EATING ''SHARK BAIT''......PIECES OF CUT BOSTON MACKEREL.

GUESS WHEN WHITING GET THAT BIG, THEY ARE REAL MEAT EATERS.

DIDN'T GET THE BULL REDFISH I WANTED. BUT IT WAS A FUN, BUT IT WAS A WINDY ROUGH AZZ DAY.

REMEMBER FOLKS

BEST DAYS EVER, ARE JUST TWO PEOPLE
NOT FOUR!
WHY ALMOST EVERY TRIP IS 4 IN THE SUMMER ALWAYS AMAZES ME.

SO LOOKING FORWARD TO MONDAY. HAVE A HUSBAND AND WIFE, THAT'S ALL
AND WE'RE GOING TROUT FISHING!

6/18 - departing at 7am....''there's a reason''

https://www.captdaves.com/fishing-charters/


- if you have to sleep in, do it another day!

7am to 1pm, charters based on 6 hrs. if you want to fish less hrs. it's up to you.  One rate, simply based on day, and number of persons. (max. 4)

here's my ride home on 6/17, just five minutes from the dock, of what's ''usually in store'' after 1pm.

here's a video example: in March...summer is worse.

6/1 - for sale: MY VINTAGE LURE COLLECTION

HTTPS://WWW.CAPTDAVES.COM - CONTACT ME HERE

Get your own valid XHTML YouTube embed code

BACK WHEN, I STARTED COLLECTING MIRROLURES. MOSTLY CLEAR EYED 70's TWITCH BAITS. THEN, I PICKED UP SOME EVEN OLDER. AND A FEW BOXES.

THEN, I WENT WITH A THEME; ''COMPETITORS'' OF MIRROLURE.
LURES WITH SIMILAR CHARACTERISTICS. TWITCH BAITS, BIG EYES, FOIL ''FLASH'' INSERTED IN THE LURES...WHICH WAS NOT WHAT EARLY MIRROLURES HAD.

THEN, I COLLECTED SOME COMPETITORS, AT LEAST THATS WHAT I CALLED THEM. CISCO KID TWITCH BAITS, MIRACLE FISH LURES, WHICH I HAVE A FEW THAT ARE BRAND NEW, AND A BRAND NEW BOX. ONE I WAS OFFERED $40 FOR BECAUSE A GUY HAD THE ENTIRE LINE UP OF MIRACLE FISH LURES, BUT WAS MISSING THE SIZE AND COLOR I HAD! I DECLINED AND HE WAS REALLY MAD.

THERE WAS HISTORY BETWEEN A LOT OF THESE COMPANIES. MIRROLURE....OR AS ONE OF MY BOXES SAYS ''MIRA-LURE'' PRIOR TO THEM CHANGING THEIR NAME. MOVED OPERATIONS FROM ILL. TO LARGO FLORIDA, AND I THINK THE STORY GOES....SO DID MIRACLE FISH!

OLD NEVER SEEN BY ME, TWITCH BAITS, I BOUGHT AND BARTERED TO GET...."BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY WERE COOL AND WOULD CATCH SPECKLED SEA TROUT. EVEN THOUGH I'D NEVER USE THEM.

THEN, I WENT TO A TACKLE SHOW IN DAYTONA BEACH AND SAW THAT "PIER BAITS", SALTWATER LONG CASTING BAITS USED BY PIER FISHERMAN WERE KINDA COLLECTIBLE, SO i WENT THAT DIRECTION FOR A LITTLE WHILE, I HAD TO HAVE THE PALMERS, AND SEAHAWKS TOO.

THERES A GUDEBROD LURE OR TWO, A WHOLE SET OF BANANA LURES SOLD IN THAT BACK OF FIELD AND STREAM MAGAZINE, WHEN I WAS A KID, SO I HAD TO COLLECT THOSE TOO.

THERE'S A CERTAIN SET OF CISCO KIDS THAT ARE ALSO TWITCH BAITS THAT FETCHED AT LEAST $10 EACH 20 YEARS AGO ACCORDING TO CONDITION.

SOME UNKNOWN JAPANESE (?) BAITS THAT I SWEAR LOOK LIKE GUBEBRODS. AND MANY OTHERS LIKE LONG AGO DISCONTINUED MIRROLURES, THAT KIDS TODAY WOULDN'T HAVE A CLUE.

TODAY MOST IS JUST CHINESE JUNK, INFERIOR AND OVER COMPLICATED. FISH DON'T CARE AND NEITHER DID I.

I HAD MY PERSONAL THEME, BUT IN THE PAST YEARS I HAVE NOT COLLECTED ANY MORE AT ALL.

I HAVE A DRAWER FULL OF 2017 & 2018 EGRET TWITCH BAITS CALLED KICK-A-MULLET, AND SEGMENTED SWIM BAITS CALLED EGRET VUDU MULLET, THAT ARE ABSOLUTELY KILLER, BAITS.

BUT I NEVER USE THEM. I'M A BAIT FISHERMAN ALONG WITH MY CHARTER CUSTOMERS.

EXCLUDING ME, IF YOU CAN'T CATCH THEM WITH A MEAL, HOW YOU GOING TO FOOL THEM WITH A PIECE OF PLASTIC.
AND MOST OF MY CHARTERS ARE DONE WITH LIVE OR DEAD SALTWATER BAIT FISH AND SHRIMP, WHICH IS HARD ENOUGH FOR THE ONCE A YEAR GUY.

I KNOW THESE WON'T FLY OFF MY RACK IN MY LIVING ROOM WHERE THEY'VE HUNG FOR 15 YEARS.

BUT I'D LIKE TO ENTERTAIN OFFERS (NO GOOFBALL CRAIGSLIST "I WANT IT FOR FREE PEOPLE) BUT GENUINE LURE LOVERS, COLLECTORS LIKE MYSELF TO ADD TO THEIR OWN COLLECTION OR FOR SOMEONE TO ADD TO THIS COLLECTION, FOR DISPLAY OR ......."USE".

CONTACT ME AT: WWW.CAPTDAVES.COM

5/31 - GOING BACK......

https://www.captdaves.com -  #jacksonvillefishingcharters


I'VE HAD A ''REAL'' WEBSITE FOR A LONG LONG TIME.  WHAT IS A WEBSITE?

FOR THE PEOPLE WHO STILL DON'T KNOW. 

HERE'S A SIMPLE BREAK DOWN
-LISTED ON ALL MAJOR SEARCH ENGINES
-A ON-LINE BUSINESS PORTFOLIO OR ''BROCHURE'', YOU COULD SAY.
-A WAY TO DIRECTLY CONTACT A PERSON OR DEPARTMENT AT THAT BUSINESS.

BUT TODAY, MANY FISHING GUIDES WON'T HAVE ONE.  THE NEWBIES, THE CHEAP & LAZY DON'T.

FIRST RED FLAG.....''IN MY BOOK'' 

THEY USE THE FREE PAGE FACEBOOK WILL GIVE YOU, IN EXCHANGE FOR YOUR SOUL. OR JUST AS MUCH INFO THEY CAN GET OUT OF YOU, AND SELL OFF TO SOLICITORS AND E-MAIL SPAMMERS. 

I HAVE A FACEBOOK PAGE, 2 ACTUALLY.....THAT GETS ALMOST ZERO ''VIEWAGE''. (thats a word I made up) AND USE THEM FOR 'SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION' PURPOSES. BECAUSE GOOGLE, THE RULER OF THE GLOBE, THE ORWELLIAN PEOPLE WHO RUN YOUR LIFE, TELL YOU WHAT TO THINK, AND LIKE FACEBOOK, WANT TO SELL YOU OUT TO EVERYONE FOR MORE TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

SO.....''WHAT THE HECK YA GETTING AT DAVE?''

IS PROBABLY WHAT YOUR THINKING, RIGHT?

I DECIDED TO GET RIGHT ON BOARD WITH MANY MANY OTHERS, BY TAKING MY RATES OFF '''''MY WEBSITE''''''.........OH NO, SAY IT AIN'T SO!

I DID IT ONCE BEFORE. THEN, WENT BACK. 

BUT THIS TIME, I DID IT BECAUSE......

AS MY BUSINESS CARD SAYS ON THE BACK-SIDE.

''ASK CAPT DAVE ABOUT, NAME YOUR OWN RATE''  

NO, THAT DOESN'T MEAN AS MANY HAVE TRIED, THAT I'LL GET UP AT 4AM, LOAD THE BOAT, FIGHT WITH THE WEEKENDER CROWD AT THE BAIT SHOP BUYING THEIR POUND OF DEAD SHRIMP AND THE BOAT RAMP MAYHEM ON OPENING DAY OF RED SNAPPER SEASON, OR ON A WEEK DAY, SIT IN NAVY TRAFFIC FOR 2 MILES!

FOR $150!!!!!

WHAT IT MEANS IS JUST LIKE GASOLINE, GROCERIES, BEEF, OR THE ELECTRICIAN OR PLUMBER YOU CALLED ON SUNDAY MORNING FOR A ''EMERGENCY SERVICE''......

PRICES CAN VARY. 

I OF COURSE CAN'T FOR FORE SEE ALL THE THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN. BUT I'VE BEEN DOING THIS LONG ENOUGH, THAT NOT MUCH IS NEW. AND BELIEVE, I SHOULD REACT ACCORDINGLY.

BEST SCENARIO IS; CALL OR CONTACT ME A WEEK OR AT LEAST A FEW DAYS BEFORE WITH A DATE, DO YOUR $100 DEPOSIT. AND GET THE STANDARD RATE, I'VE BEEN USING FOR YEARS.

OR...LIKE TODAY'S EMAIL EXAMPLE:

MY WEBSITE RATES PAGE CLEARLY SAYS

I REPLIED, AND SAID ''CALL ASAP'', AND EVEN GAVE MY STANDARD RATE FOR 2 PERSONS.

DID THIS PERSON EVEN LOOK, AND READ MY WEBSITES RATES PAGE?

PROBABLY NOT.

THIS PERSON FOR A ''FLEETING MOMENT'', THOUGHT GOING ON A PRIVATE FISHING CHARTER WAS A GOOD IDEA, I GUESS.

NEVER HEARD A WORD BACK.

YEP, EVERY DAY IS AS FUN AS THE NEXT.

"JETTYWOLF LIVE" - 5/25/2019

AS A YOUTUBE ONLY VIEWER, AND COLD STEEL 4-MAX OWNER, HERE'S A FEW THINGS THAT I NEVER SEE DISCUSSED VIA 4-MAX REVIEWS.

I'M NOT BLAMING ANYONE FOR MISSING SUCH OBVIOUS POINTS OF THE COLD STEEL 4-MAX. OH...BUT, YES I AM. WHO ARE WE KIDDING?

MOST REVIEWERS ARE TOO CONCERNED WITH WEIGHT, THE NON-TOY'ISH'NESS, OF IT, THE INABILITY TO CARRY IT IN THEIR SKINNY JEANS, OR PLEATED CORDUROY, DOCKERS.

ALL I WANTED TO KNOW BEFORE I GOT MY VERY OWN 4-MAX.......
