   I was headed home early today after being booted from jury dooty.....seems as though someone (me) couldn't be impartial  to another persons irresponsibility. A couple blocks from the house I see a yard sale and stop in. I am not normally a garage sale kinda guy but sometimes these guys have some odd stuff. I picked up three collapsible minnow nets and a few hoochies....that would be a few in every style and color....all for $25

   They told me to come back tomorrow for the rods and such....I'll be first in line....

Being an honorable sportsman is way more important than what you catch.

Does anyone know if you can use the minnow traps for catching crawdads ? 


Abking , if I remember correctly that banana peel on the 4oz lead head caught me a nice greenling which in turn caught me a fatty ling...

Sweet find!  :thumleft:

On another note, before I became such an avid fisherman the phrase "Hoochies Abound" would have made me think of the scenery on a Saturday night out with the guys...now I immediately think about how to best rig the hoochie for rock fishing.  Funny how things change...  :smt005

Also, I don't recommend doing a Google Image Search for "hoochie" when you're at work, around your wife/GF or when small children are near your monitor.  Just thought I'd mention it.   :smt044

Man....when I read the title "Hoochies Abound" I thought this was going to be a post about fishing Lake Havasu during Spring Break!
And, yet, I'm still impressed. NICE find Allen!

I like the Bananahoochi Mike. I will stop by the yard sale today and see what they offer. If I see anything of interest I will get it and offer it up here .....
