KenDammit · 03-08-06, 10:38 PM

HAHA, nice eyes!

lizardsrule · 03-08-06, 10:48 PM

Sweet, so what was the sale price of the Bibs, or were they not on sale? I like brighter colors when tourney fishing. Never know when I'm gonna get thrown out of the boat, so I want to be seen LOL

Rebbasser · 03-08-06, 11:09 PM

I'd say you done good! That's some of the best rainwear out there, and you got a great price!

bassintom · 03-08-06, 11:56 PM

bassinbob · 03-09-06, 12:27 AM

flfireman · 03-09-06, 01:00 AM

Nice set... of raingear. Wish I would look half that good in mine.

bass kicker · 03-09-06, 02:14 AM

i just got a mustang float coat rated for -40 for 250 bucks

so you did pretty good

pig n jig · 03-10-06, 05:52 PM

Bassgrl, You should have got Cookie Monster Blue, instead of big bird yellow.

Thats some awesome gear you bought. They are worth every penny and will last for years.P N J

bass kicker · 03-10-06, 07:26 PM

our guide in floida had the same suit

Denny_K · 03-10-06, 09:33 PM

I'll be darn. P-N-J led me to believe that NY anglers were all extremely ugly and had no taste in fishing equipment

Good job that's supposed to Awsome rain gear.

he has been misleading folks for years..this is nothing new..

zooker

pig n jig · 03-10-06, 10:32 PM

Ill, I am glad your back, but Zooker doesn't need any help.

He made my wife wake me up from a nap, so he could yap at me over the phone. I am not sure exactly what he said, he has a Southern accent and I had cobwebs in my brain just being woken up. That was a lowdown, dirty mean thing to do to a person who naps to break the endless winter crap he is stuck in.

Bassgrl81 · 03-10-06, 11:37 PM

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I have to admit I was a lil' thrown back by the colors in person...I'm not really one to wear bright stuff! But one thing I have to compliment is the pockets. There are a TON of them inside and outside of the coat as well as on the bibs!

Now the bad spending is going to come in 9 days when I fly down to Charleston, SC and head down to the BPS's in Savannah, GA!

Ummm, PNJ...it hasn't been too bad weatherwise!! Tomorrow is supposed to be GORGEOUS!!!!

Bass_fishing_girl · 03-11-06, 05:21 AM

Very nice Bassgrl!!

Nice way to stay dry bassgrl! WTG

pig n jig · 03-11-06, 07:21 AM

Trista, It isn't ice out yet. Ice out is not too far off now, but when is the last time you have fished up here ? A friend put my boat in with his farm tractor so I could fish.I did catch a few smallmouth, but it still got too cold to fish for very long.An hour of actual fishing in 5 months has not made me very happy.Your right, better weather is here, I only have snow where it drifted bad and the road I live on is a muddy rutted mess.

I ain't going to be happy until I can fish on a regular basis.

JB · 03-11-06, 07:50 AM

pnj,
about the same scenerio here too, it skimmed over last week and has rained ever since, I 'm going to try to get out this weekend between showers...you'll probably notice my posts getting shorter if I get to wet a line rofl

Hef · 04-17-06, 08:54 AM

I wish I had your "frog suit" last weekend. I was supposed to be nice, well after 4 hours of rain, my GORTEX was soaked through. WET = MAD DUSTY
