Enroll in an WOMAN'S EXTREME DEFENCE course along with all other suggestions mentioned . A knee KICKED backwards removes all desires, the small end of your fishing pole in the eye will slow him down, etc.etc.etc. Take the course. It's best to know and not need instead of need and not know .nuff said
live in the tampa area and we like to spit on each bait . That might help with the " catchin'" part
most likely electric brakes -- unless you have a brake fluid line you connect everytime you pull your trailer BUT if they are elec. , the metal fragments in your pads ( in most brake pads ) will rust and swell to bond with your drums. you will have to pull tires and drums and cover shoes with plastic trash bags till next use. I can't see a laborless way to stop your problem.
haven't seen many carp in central fla.
I think the " crap " is heavy, HEAVY vegetation and they eat all the cover for fish
check to see if you can cast net them
been there ---- first , get a better rod with a stiffer TIP those combo rods have a flimsy tip ,the only way you know you caught something is when a guy runs by you in his boat and you " catch " his motor. Baits are anybody's guess Try everything suggested BUT get a rod with a STIFF TIP. ( fish have a very light tap when they bite )
try buying some finger gauze ( tubular ) put the whatever in the tubes fold it over to lap ends , run the hook thru the folded ends ( thru the bait ) coupla of times . should stay on the hook
fish the ends of all points ( fallen trees , grass ,dirt at a point in the river,)
seems like the only thing you dislike about fishing is what your DAD did for you. You don't mind casting the bait or reeling it in or pulling it out of the water , just the touching of the bait or the fish . jus sayn'
quit fishing in your swimming pool ( lol )
A bite will want to take your fishing rig a snag will let you keep it
A lot of the vibration will be absorbed by the mesh gear and down shaft . With that being said the bearing will vibrate and wear out the alum. housing next step is replacing the foot, mesh gears,housing,shafts, seals,and some other parts . It all depends WHEN you decide to change it.
That's probably the new yum-yum bait ?
