Little Gi-hun and In-ho details I see missed / ignored / glossed over a lot in fan content:

-Gi-hun loves horses!! Which is SO SO cute honestly (I HC that he got into horse racing originally because he just liked the horses and was curious so he went with Jung-bae and then his addictive personality got hooked on the betting and it was all downhill from there)

-Gi-hun likes animals in general (see: feeding the cat)

-Gi-hun sings to himself when he's feeling comfortable and happy

-Food is SUPER SUPER important to Gi-hun, it's like one of his favorite parts of life (which makes his refusal to eat in S2 extra sad - he's lost touch with the joy in life 😟😟)

-Gi-hun prefers floor furniture and sits cross-legged on the ground a lot, while In-ho is more exposed to western shit and likes his chairs. I think it's super cute how Gi-hun sits on the ground

-In-ho has computer glasses / reading glasses on his work desk which we see when Jun-ho is exploring (glasses In-ho!!)

-In-ho rolls his own cigarettes (... or weed? Jk jk... unless.) There's a rolling tray on his bedside table

-In-ho likes incense and other nice smelling scent things, OR he has a lot of scent-memories he's gotta block out; there's an incense holder AND scent diffuser rods beside his bed

-In-ho likes the ocean and boats (has a ship in a bottle in his office; also the whiskey he drinks has marine notes), and I'd love to see more fan content let him out on the water more (give our evil boi a sailing day!)

-In-ho is actually a fucking nerd loser just cosplaying as the cool, suave Front Man (see: art books, Matrix reference, goldfish, shitty dorm, bad jokes as Young-il, named himself fucking "Young-il" as in "zero one" (c'mon man), doesn't know how to interact with normal people anymore)

-In-ho has glow in the dark stars on his walls at the dorm, yes this is CANON!! GLOW IN THE DARK STARS!!

-In-ho likes movies! (The Matrix reference)

-In-ho likes art in general; although we do see that in fan content, I wish we saw more about how that plays into his worldview and thought processes. I feel like he's so often portrayed as practical and calculating only, leaving Gi-hun to represent the more fanciful, artistic side of things, but art (and music!) are really important to In-ho!

-For this reason, and because Gi-hun sings when happy, I think they'd bond over music

-I also think they'd bond over movies (I need them to watch Everything, Everywhere, All At Once after they watch The Matrix :) )

-I HC that In-ho is afraid of heights mostly because of how he acted at that cliff and because it would make that scene sadder lol 😈

Homebrew Horror: That Old and Rotten Crick

(Art by @stranger-chads aka @bluejay-makes!)

First detailed here and further built upon here, the Rotten Crick has been plaguing my thoughts. The downside of working in a store that sells fishing gear, I suppose. This also is a departure from my normal intro blocks, since there's not that much more lore to go through!

Rotten Crick is a fisherman first and a fighter second, but of course a creature like him has to get good at filleting whatever monstrosity he drags ashore, alongside whatever assassins that enemy fey send his way. He also presents a very strange figure in any campaign he may appear in; he's immensely creepy and unquestionably evil, but he's entirely passive in the evil he does and can even benefit a community he enters! Not only can he teach men to fish, he can give them all the tools they need to do so AND defend them from greater threats at sea. Anyone who takes up his bargains may think they're being Devil Deal'd, but the truth is that there's an entirely different sort of danger in accepting his assistance that almost never affects the life of the person he's helped.

Rather than being a mundane source of fantastical danger (like a local lord using magic and conjured beasts to secure power), he's a fantastical source of mundane danger. He directly encourages and enables overfishing, water pollution, and ecological collapse, things that adventuring parties can't exactly solve by punching the right creature into submission. By the time the damage begins to manifest in a noticeable way, it's often too late to stop. Even if the party defeats or chases off the Old Crick, it could be years before the damage he does is undone, if it ever is, though the intervention of nature mages, other Fey, and spirits of the wilds may at least help clean and dress the wound.

If a DM wants to use the Old Crick to be a true and painfully clear source of immediate danger rather than a long-term danger, having him be a threat to local sapient sea life (such as water fey and merfolk) is fully possible. His animosity towards sea life peaks when he's faced with "betrayers," and he'll go out of his way to concoct terrible plans to cause their deaths.

Before we get to the man himself, though, we need to look at his two most famous pieces of equipment: The Tomb of Karaphas and the Tidepool Reaper.

The Tomb of Karaphas

Minor Artifact

Aura: Moderate Conjuration, Enchantment, and Transmutation

CL: 18th

Weight: 8lbs

Slot: —

This deceptively normal-looking but magical tacklebox contains everything an enterprising fisherman could need to do their work but a boat. The Tomb magically generates mundane supplies such as hooks, lines, rods, reels, floats, lures, baits, nets and whatever else as needed by its current holder. It can generate enough gear for up to six creatures to perform a day's work fishing and/or trawling, and grants anyone utilizing its tools a +5 profane bonus to Profession (Fisherman) checks (or similar), as well as to Survival checks made to gather food from bodies of water and areas nearby them. Anything generated by the Tomb dissolves into nothingness 7 days later.

In addition to the above functions, the Tomb of Karaphas is magically capacious, acting as a Bag of Holding (Type IV). What is contained within is largely at the DMs discretion, but it normally contains the Rotten Cricks four enchanted fillet knives crafted from whale bones (two +1 Keen Animal-Bane Daggers, two +1 Keen Aquatic-Bane Daggers), a Net of Snaring woven from merfolk hair, tools for preparing sea life for consumption, tools for whittling and scrimshaw, whittled and scrimshawed trinkets worth at least 4,000gp in total, no fewer than twenty bottled beverages of varying quality and alcohol content, and a corkscrew carved from a sea serpent's tooth.

Destruction: The Tomb of Karaphas and all its contents are destroyed utterly if gnashed between the teeth of Ragadahn while the Rotten Crick is dead.

-----

The Tidepool Reaper

Minor Artifact

Aura: Moderate Conjuration and Transmutation

CL: 18th

Weight: 4lbs

Slot: ---

This powerful, magical fishing rod is much more than its mundane appearance suggests. It's capable of fishing in any waters, magically adjusting the length of its line, the strength of the floats and the weight of the sinkers, and the size and design of the hook itself as needed, all such adjustments done on the fly by the malign intelligence within the tool with no action needed from the wielder. It's still up to the wielder to supply bait, but the Reaper can fetch bait on its own if a supply is left anywhere within 5ft of it. With a simple command, the Reaper will conjure a stand for itself and fish entirely on its own using either a Profession (Fisherman) check or a Survival check (+10 to either), depositing its catches into whatever container is provided, throwing catches onto the shore beside it if no container is available.

In the hands of another creature, it grants that creature a +5 profane bonus to Profession (Fisherman) checks (or similar), as well as Survival checks made to gather food from bodies of water. Once per day, the Tidepool Reaper may be used to dredge up items of varying worth; this is identical to a 18th level Cleric with the Flotsam Subdomain using Sift.

Destruction: The Tidepool Reaper can only be destroyed if it is sealed inside of the Tomb of Karaphas when the tacklebox is destroyed.

------

Combat: The Old Crick generally only fights against creatures he has an enormous advantage against; that is, creatures his Fishmonger ability triggers against while his target is in the water, allowing him to utilize his Supreme Angler ability to attack with unavoidable, highly-damaging strikes. Against surface-bound foes, he will use the Combat Maneuvers his whips afford him alongside Quickened Spiked Pit to dispose of most enemies, or Walk the Plank to drag enemies into spontaneously manifested bodies of water to take advantage of Supreme Angler. His Fog Clouds do not impede him due to his mist sight, and he will use them to confound enemies relying on sight and keep his distance to utilize his whip's power to their full potential. Other favored tactics include utilizing the disarming ability of whips he wields alongside Greater Serpent Lash to relieve entire groups of enemies of their equipment before throwing the items into his conjured pits, or overboard any ship he's on. If he can throw his enemies into bodies of water with any ability, he generally will.

Morale: Old Crick is maniacal in combat against sea life, and bravely fights to the death against such creatures for the chance to end them. Against surface life, he fights only until the other party is unconscious or retreats, and rarely coup de graces fallen foes unless they are aligned with the sea in some fashion. He will likely steal what he desires from them and leave them tied up for another creature to find. When reduced to 30 HP or below, he will surrender and attempt to parlay and/or bargain. If his surrender is rejected, he will fight to the death.

------ Special Abilities ------

Fearsome Fishing (Ex): Old Crick wields the tools of his trade with such expert experience that he may use even common fishing rods or lengths of rope as if they were whips, applying his whip-relevant feats and special abilities (including Supreme Angler, below) to any such tools he wields. Magic fishing rods or ropes are treated as +1 weapons in his hands. His signature rod, the Tidepool Reaper, is even more dangerous when used in this way, responding to his will as easily as a limb; he may freely use it as either an +2 Aquatic-Bane Whip with a reach of 30ft instead of 15, or a +1 Aquatic-Bane Keen Rapier, both of which he is proficient with.

Fishmonger (Ex): Old Crick has the Favored Enemy ability of a 15th level Ranger (+6 to Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks, as well as to attack and damage rolls), except it works universally against creatures with the Water or Aquatic subtypes. His hatred of sea life is so great that this ability also extends to Aberrations, Animals, Fey, Magical Beasts, and Vermin which live in the water, even if they do not have the Water or Aquatic subtypes. However, this ability never applies to creatures who do not live in water, even if they resemble sea creatures, as he commends such creatures for shedding their "horrid lifestyle" and choosing to "live properly."

Item Crafting (Ex): Old Crick gains Harvest Parts, Craft Wondrous Item, and Craft Magical Arms and Armor as bonus feats. He crafts Wondrous Items with incredible swiftness; any item that costs less than 1,000gp to create is crafted in 2 hours instead of 8.

Shield of Hatred (Su): The waves of hate flowing off Old Crick prevents sea life from easily touching him. He adds half the bonuses gained from Fishmonger (+3) as a profane bonus to his AC, to his CMD, and his saving throws against the attacks, abilities, and spells of any creature with the Aquatic or Water subtypes. He never counts as a willing target for the abilities of such creatures, even if he is magically compelled to do so.

Supreme Angler (Ex): Over the years, Old Crick has fished in the strangest waters one can imagine, and it's given him an insurmountable advantage when attacking the beasts of the sea. He ignores cover and concealment when attacking creatures that are partially or fully underwater while he himself is on the surface (whether on a shoreline, on a boat, or standing on the water). Each round, he gains a +20 profane bonus to the first attack roll or CMB check he makes with a whip against partially or fully submerged targets.

Adventure post!

OK, so yesterday, I spent the day in French Creek State Park, in southeast Pennsylvania, in and around the smaller of its two lakes, called Scott's Run Lake.

I have been there before, and hiked and picnicked around the larger lake, but I hadn't been to the small lake before, so I am counting it for my New Year's Resolution, called "Adventures!" Part of it is to take Sophie, my dog, to 8 new walking locations, and Willow, my kayak, to four new floating locations.

Here's the lake!

We're standing on the dam here, so you can see it's not a huge lake, but it's nice. (If you are not familiar with Pennsylvania, we have very few natural lakes, but loads of lakes that were deliberately created by damming up streams.)

Here we are looking a little to the right:

That rocky bit in the lower corner is the dam; a lot of parks forbid you from walking on the dam itself--usually there's a walkway along the top--but this one you can go right out on it, and it's a popular fishing spot:

We started off with a hike around the lake, which was nice & not too difficult. Here is one of the three little streams which feeds the lake:

After the hike, we had a little picnic, which was a sandwich and chips for me, and dog biscuits and chips for Sophie:

Here is the picnic location:

That little bridge is going over the spillway where the water is let out of the lake.

The next activity was fishing! I didn't think that Sophie would want to climb down onto the dam, so we found a spot on the side, and Sophie found a shady spot to nap:

I did what I always do at first, which was try to set up multiple rods in holders and then become frazzled with trying to keep up with them all:

This is one of my grandpa's old ones that I got out of the shed during Easter at my grandma's. The reel is the one I bought at the charity shop; I have some of grandpa's reels, too, but I need to take them apart and clean and oil them.

After fishing, I got Sophie settled in the car with some water and a snack, and got Willow out on the water!

I saw this, which I think is possibly a beaver lodge?

I did not see the beaver, but I heard Chewing.

After the boating, Sophie and I had another little walk around the lake area, and then it was cookout time! I brought butter and seasonings for possible grilled trout, because I am optimistic, but I also brought a pack of hot dogs, because I am realistic.

Standard state-park grill:

Sophie waiting very patiently for hot dogs:

Almost ready!

Dinner is served:

Sophie's first one was gone in 5 seconds:

I made her wait until I had finished my first one before giving her her half of the third one.

After the cookout, Sophie was ready for a nap, but I decided to do just a tiny bit more fishing, and try out my novelty bobber which lights up:

It did indeed light up:

I did not catch any fish, but a small child complimented my on my cool bobber.

It lights up when it hits the water, then when you reel it in, it goes out maybe 10 or 15 seconds after it leaves the water. How does it know?!?

After that we drove home, and as we were turning onto our street, a downpour began, so our timing was almost perfect.

Can’t put a rod holder/sand spike in a boat ramp. So I had to redneck it.

Santa Cruz Surf Fishing: The Ultimate Guide to Beach Fishing in Santa Cruz

For anglers who love the thrill of casting their lines in the open ocean, Santa Cruz surf fishing offers an exhilarating experience. With miles of sandy coastline and diverse marine life, beach fishing in Santa Cruz is perfect for both seasoned fishermen and beginners looking for a fun and rewarding adventure. Whether you're targeting surf perch, striped bass, or halibut, the shores of Santa Cruz provide endless opportunities for a great catch.

Why Santa Cruz Surf Fishing is a Must-Try

Santa Cruz is known for its stunning beaches and excellent fishing conditions. The Pacific Ocean delivers powerful surf, rich nutrients, and abundant fish species that make Santa Cruz surf fishing an exciting sport. The best part? You don’t need a boat—just your rod, reel, and some bait, and you’re ready to go.

Fish Species You Can Catch

One of the great things about beach fishing in Santa Cruz is the variety of fish you can target. Here are some of the most common species:

Surf Perch – The most popular catch among surf anglers, especially in the winter and spring.

Striped Bass – A prized catch for many anglers, best found in the spring and summer months.

Halibut – Can be caught in shallow waters near the shore, especially during the warmer months.

Leopard Sharks – Often caught by anglers looking for a challenge.

Best Beaches for Surf Fishing in Santa Cruz

There are many great spots for Santa Cruz surf fishing, but some stand out more than others. Here are some of the best locations to cast your line:

1. Manresa State Beach

A popular surf fishing spot known for its abundance of surf perch and striped bass. The sandy bottom and consistent waves make it a prime location for anglers.

2. Seabright Beach

Located near the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, this beach offers easy access and good fishing opportunities, especially for perch and halibut.

3. Sunset State Beach

One of the quieter fishing spots, ideal for those looking for a peaceful fishing experience. This beach is great for catching perch and the occasional striped bass.

4. New Brighton State Beach

This location is well known for its deep waters close to shore, making it a great spot for targeting halibut and perch.

Essential Gear for Beach Fishing in Santa Cruz

Before heading out for beach fishing in Santa Cruz, make sure you have the right gear. Here’s a checklist to get you started:

Rod and Reel – A medium to heavy surf rod (8-12 feet) paired with a spinning or baitcasting reel is ideal.

Fishing Line – A 10-20 lb test line works well for most surf fishing conditions.

Bait and Lures – Sand crabs, bloodworms, and shrimp are excellent bait choices. Soft plastic swimbaits and spoons also work well for predatory fish.

Waders or Waterproof Boots – Helps keep you dry and comfortable while fishing in the surf.

Tackle Box – Filled with essential gear like hooks, sinkers, and extra line.

Sand Spike – A rod holder that allows you to keep your rod secure while waiting for a bite.

Tips for a Successful Santa Cruz Surf Fishing Trip

To make the most of your Santa Cruz surf fishing experience, keep these tips in mind:

1. Check the Tides and Conditions

Fish are more active during incoming and outgoing tides. Using tide charts will help you plan the best times to fish.

2. Look for Structure

Fish tend to gather around natural underwater structures like sandbars, troughs, and rock formations. Identifying these areas will increase your chances of catching fish.

3. Use the Right Bait

Live bait like sand crabs and bloodworms work well for perch and bass. If you’re targeting halibut, try using artificial lures that mimic baitfish.

4. Be Patient and Stay Mobile

If you’re not getting bites in one area, don’t hesitate to move along the beach. Walking and casting in different spots increases your chances of finding active fish.

5. Follow Local Regulations

Make sure to check California fishing regulations regarding size limits, bag limits, and fishing licenses before you head out.

Why Beach Fishing in Santa Cruz is Perfect for All Skill Levels

One of the best things about beach fishing in Santa Cruz is that it’s accessible to everyone. You don’t need a boat or expensive equipment—just a fishing rod and some bait. It’s a great activity for families, solo anglers, or groups of friends looking to enjoy the beautiful Santa Cruz coastline while catching some impressive fish.

Plan Your Santa Cruz Surf Fishing Adventure Today

Whether you’re an experienced angler or just getting started, Santa Cruz surf fishing is an exciting and rewarding experience. With miles of pristine beaches, an abundance of fish, and easy access to prime fishing spots, beach fishing in Santa Cruz is a must-try activity.

Random Rugan loreposting delivered straight to your dash!

So Rugan recieved an old banged up jade-powered skiff during his unplanned 'trip' to Cantha, but it recieved little use once the void revealed itself and started unmaking Tyria. There were slightly more pressing concerns than taking a serene fishing trip through the streams and lake of Echovald, so into storage it went, with the only thing approximating actual use being the occasional wistful glance Rugan would shoot it's way.

This was the case past the void's defeat and all the way until the end of the demon investigation in Gyala Delve, where Rugan got the first inkling of the idea that self-care is kinda important to staying in top form. So, out came the boat, as a personal project completely removed from his status as the dragon slayer. a project that he could slowly improve and work on, as something for just himself.

So far the boats gotten an improved exterior hull, additional motors for increased maximum speed, enchanted storage containers outfitted with the latest in runes of holding and last, but certainly not least, a set of drink holders. It's... also been sent to the bottom several times through the upgrade process, turns out doing carpentry while drunk is a bad idea actually!

Now that Falx has been born he has less spare hours for his personal boat project, but he still finds time every now and then. Letting the slow currents of the river take you through shaded glades while lazily holding onto your fishing rod is oddly theraputic, especially for Rugan who really needs a good reset from the 'all combat all the time' mentality.

Why a Docktail Bar with Teak Table Tops is the Best Option for Your Boat

It's important to select the appropriate items for the equipment on your boat, particularly for areas that will be exposed to water, sunlight, and changing weather conditions. Here at Docktail Bar, we think the finest solution for boats in terms of longevity and design is a teak table top. Whether you're entertaining guests or just enjoying a peaceful time at sea, a well-made teak table may make all the difference in your boating experience.

Why need Teak Table Tops for boats?

For all of these reasons, teak is one of the most sought-after woods in maritime settings. It resists rot, water damage, and insect infestation because of its sturdy construction and high oil content. Teak's resilience to extreme weather means that it will always be robust and lovely, even in the presence of submerged objects and bright sunlight.

Durability and Longevity

The extended longevity of teak table tops for yachts is one of their most notable qualities. Because teak doesn't warp or split readily like other wood varieties, it's the perfect choice for marine furniture. If a teak table is kept in good condition, it can last for many years and develop a silvery-grey patina or bright golden color.

Low Maintenance

Teak table tops are easy to maintain. You can apply teak oil to preserve their original golden tone, or you can let them weather naturally into a timeless gray coloring. To maintain a new appearance, give the tabletop a quick wipe-down with a little water and light soap. Teak's low-maintenance attractiveness is a big selling feature for boat owners searching for ease.

Aesthetic Appeal

When combined with your boat's modern style, teak's unparalleled natural beauty enhances the overall appearance of your watercraft. A teak tabletop elevates the exclusivity and sophistication of your boating experience, whether you're enjoying your meal outdoors or organizing a party on deck. Our teak table tops for boats at Docktail Bar are handmade with care to ensure that your boat will have both elegance and functionality.

The Benefits of Boat Repairs: Maintaining the Investment's Lifespan

Making timely boat repairs to small concerns keeps them from becoming bigger ones and keeps your boat seaworthy for many years to come. A boat is a substantial financial investment that needs constant maintenance to maintain its performance and worth; it is not merely a recreational item. The possibility to increase the boat's lifespan is one of the biggest advantages of routine repairs. Boats are subjected to severe maritime conditions, such as mechanical wear and tear, humidity, UV rays, and saltwater corrosion.

A Wide Variety of Customisation Choices

The bait tables online retailers have a huge assortment of bait tables to suit a variety of fishing requirements and tastes. The range is enormous, ranging from modest, folding units ideal for small boats to luxurious stainless-steel ones with rod holders, knife slots, and drainage systems.

For professional fisherman, internet shopping is the preferable alternative because traditional retail settings find it impossible to match this degree of choice. The opportunity to investigate and evaluate a product's quality before purchasing is one of the main benefits of buying bait tables online.

A Clever, Up-to-Date Method for Boat Outfitting

Despite appearing to be a minor component of a fishing setup, bait tables have a significant influence on organisation, efficiency, and safety. There are several benefits to purchasing items online, including low cost, convenience, and an unparalleled selection and professional insights. The opportunity to research and buy the ideal bait table online enables you to make better decisions, regardless of your level of experience or interest in offshore fishing.

It's a contemporary solution that fits well with the changing way of life of today's fishing and boating enthusiasts. Additionally, space-saving bait tables that are easy to fold up or detach are ideal for smaller boats or people who want to clear clutter—features that are more openly advertised online than they usually are in-store.

🎣⚓ Tired of fishing for your Mooring Lines?

You’re easing in to dock, maybe solo, maybe with someone else fumbling with the lines. The wind’s sideways. The dock's wet. Your mooring line’s in the water again — floating just out of reach like a fish that won’t bite. You lean, stretch, maybe even jump. Again.

We’ve all been there. But you don’t have to do that anymore.

AMARREX — the clean, clever way to keep your mooring lines right where you need them

AMARREX is a fixed mooring line holder, designed to keep your ropes up, dry, and accessible — so your docking is smooth, your lines are clean, and your crew’s not diving across the pontoon.

Whether you’re a solo navigator or simply want to stay safe on board during the maneuver, AMARREX is your low-key deckhand waiting at the dock.

🛟 Why it matters:

• No more fishing for ropes in the water • No more impellers clogged with stray lines • No more jumping from the helm to the pontoon • No more wet lines, tangled messes, or missed throws • Just step off — or better: don’t — and grab your line like it was meant to be

☀️ Designed to blend in and hold up

Most mooring line holders are afterthoughts: thin rods, plastic heads, floppy designs that look out of place on a clean dock.

AMARREX isn’t that. It’s the most elegant solution on the market:

• White powder-coated aluminum tube – marine-grade and UV-resistant • Inox 316 base – built to last in salt, sun, and spray • Flexible base with silent block – absorbs movement, protects your dock • Reflective strips visible up to 300 meters – spot your place in any condition • Comes in two sizes: 140 cm and 170 cm — for any boat, any dock

🌊 Mooring should feel this easy

You sail for the calm, the rhythm, the control. AMARREX fits that mindset. It keeps your lines where they belong, and your crew where they’re safest — on the boat, not leaping to the dock.

Because elegance isn’t just about looks. It’s about how things work.

Hi! Random character question I absolutely need to know the answer to: Do you think Agnes would ever craft her own little fishing boat? Idk why I picture her woodworking but here we are lol.

Oh my goddddd 🥺

I don't know if she'd have the patience for woodworking, BUT!

Buying an old dinger of a fishing boat and restoring it? Yes 🥺

Sealing, painting, adding cool decals, installing the seats that flip down, installing rod holders, adding a little bumper so the motor is leveled - fuck yeah 😎

Park Report!

And a fishing update.

On this 15th Sunday of the year 2025, the park is still poised on the edge of the big spring bloom.

Here we are on the path near the fishing pier, looking back toward the parking lot. Things are greening up, and you can see the Canada goose couple having a swim.

Down by the tunnel, in the distance just to left of center we can see this week's big development, which is A New Bench.

Up top of the tunnel, we can see that the daffodils are wrapping up for the year, and various trees starting to show a little color at the tips of their branches.

Here is a bonus close-up of one of the purple trees. She is almost ready to bloom, but not quite! It keeps going back and forth between chilly and warm, and she is pressing the snooze button on her alarm clock.

After the park, I went over to the reservoir again for some more fishing. Spoiler: Trout Not Achieved. But I did get some pics of the osprey!

This was actually a really good view of him in person, and I am pleased to report that osprey make silly cheeping sounds.

super-pixellated closeup.

Flying around overhead. He came quite close several times, but of course I didn't have my phone ready to get a picture then.

A nice picture of the reservoir. I saw the people in the yellow boat pull in several trout. I thought about getting Willow and going out there, but it's a bit of a hike from the parking area to the reservoir, so she stayed in the car, doing her suitcase impression.

One of the spots I found to fish. There were a bunch of people, so there wasn't a whole lot of choice about where to set up. The mud-covered rod, that mine is propped up on, is in the same place as yesterday; my guess is somebody lost it and somebody else stuck it there as a rod holder, IDK.

I didn't catch a single thing today, but I did get through a second day of fishing without losing any tackle, which is another personal best.

Downrigger Mounts: high-tensile strength, corrosion resistance, and easy fit

Downrigger mounts are essential components for serious anglers. These specialized brackets or bases help attach downriggers to boats. Downriggers are fishing tools that hold a line and a weight at a specific depth. The mount ensures that the downrigger is stable and secure during use. A strong and well-placed mount is necessary for deep-water fishing, especially in rough conditions.

These downrigger mounts are typically installed on the hull, gunwale, or transom of the boat. The mount allows the downrigger to deploy and retrieve fishing lines easily. It holds the device in place, even when handling heavy weights or pulling in large fish. The mount also plays a key role in positioning the downrigger for best performance. These mounts are essential for safe and effective deep-water fishing. Elec-tra-Mate offers high-quality Universal Downrigger Gimbal Mount. The main features of this include high-tensile, corrosion resistance, and an easy fit. It is a reliable tool for anglers of all experience levels. Designed to last, this mount gives you confidence every time you fish.

Universal Downrigger Gimbal Mount

The Universal Downrigger Gimbal Mount is a top choice for anglers who want quality and versatility. This heavy-duty mount is made from marine-grade aluminum. It is designed to hold up under harsh saltwater conditions. Its black anodized finish protects against corrosion so that the mount lasts for years. This mount fits into your existing gimbal rod holder. That makes installation quick and simple. No drilling or complex setup is required. It’s a great option for anglers who want to get out on the water faster. The mount is compatible with all major downrigger brands.

Types of Downrigger Mounts

There are several types of downrigger mounts. Swivel mounts allow the downrigger to rotate. This helps anglers adjust the angle or position during fishing. Fixed mounts offer a permanent and rigid setup. Clamp-on mounts are portable and easy to install or remove. Gimbal mounts fit into existing flush-mount rod holders, making them quick and convenient. Rail systems provide flexibility and adjustability by sliding along a track system.

A good downrigger mount must be durable. Marine environments are tough with saltwater, waves, and strong currents. The mount should also be secure, preventing the downrigger from shifting or falling off. Compatibility is important too. Many mounts, especially universal ones, work with all major downrigger brands. Ease of installation and adjustability are also key.
