Jetski Setup for Fishing
Anybody got a spare $13,000 burning a hole in your pocket???
I found something for you to throw that money at... and I'll keep it at my place just for you!!! Let me know (good thing I don't have $13,000 burning a hole in my pocket).

Cool Tools
These are the tools that I got at New Smyrna Outfitters. I have seen several "Mole Crab Rakes" but for various reasons, I chose not to purchase them. The one at Bass Pro was big, could catch several crabs at the same time, but it was upwards of $75. Just a few days before I saw this one at NSO, I thought I found the perfect one at Walmart in Cocoa Beach - not as heavily built as the BSP one and only $29. I may still go back and get that one. Then I saw this one - small, compact, won't take up much room in the truck bed (help especially when you are living in a camper trailer), and looks sturdy enough for what I plan to do with it (catch sand crabs for bait - in small quantities). 
I also saw these bobbin threaders. Most threaders are built on a brass handle. As you can see these are on plastic beads. I'll try them out and let you know if these work any better than the conventional ones.

One of the Few...
We spent Monday taking a look around the beach town of New Smyrna Beach. I specifically wanted to go to New Smyrna Outfitters - a fishing tackle shop that has a good emphasis on fly fishing. Friendly owner and shop folks, great selection of equipment, and they gave excellent advise on fishing in the area as well as where the cool spots to eat are. I'll make separate posts on some of the cool things I bought. 
Speaking with the owner - Eddie Oliveras - was tons of fun! Cool guy that offered tons of fly advice and his take on the job market (something that I could use some help on still). He did bring up that the number of fly fishing shops is decreasing. He did mention Black Fly up here in Jacksonville, but said that a few had recently closed their doors. I think having fly and spinning gear is a smart tactic to take - I know I use both, making decisions depending on the weather - and I can drool over lures or flies. Equal opportunity I say! Make sure if you are heading south on I-95, pull off and spend some time in this shop.
