I am going to start pier fishing here in Souther California this summer. I have done a lot of fresh water fishing but never pier fishing. What is good to use for bait? What are a good brands of rods and reels to look out for?
John Jay is 100% cooorect,, but I need the 10 points!!!
I just bought a new fishing tackle storage box and the dividers are really loose and my hooks and such are sliding out into the next compartment under the divider. Is there a way that I can glue these dividers down so not to affect any lures or soft baits?
Try a hot glue gun. It's strong enough for this task, and hardens immediately as soon as it cools down unlike most glues which require time for evaporation. The glue is actually just a type of plastic, and shouldn't affect the contents of the tackle box.

a simple sandwhich box does just the trick but drill a fewholes in the top first
it has been getting into garbage and we're trying to "relocate" it.
OK, I admit it, the plan is to relocate the possum to the garbage can....eternally. Just didn't wanna get the animal rights folks stirred up.
canned cat or dog food why relocate it will just get hit by a car or in someone else's trash..."relocate" mean to a different etherial plane? if that is the case then cat food with a .22 for desert
laser pointer
....... I don't fancy it now!
What did you do, did you starve or did you cadge something off someone else?
Bait box is for fishing right? Lunch box is for work? anyway often had this feeling always cadge of my mates!
Employers seek to reduce recruitment costs
This is taken from an article out of the USA, which is indeed relevant to us in South Africa - nothing new but interesting to put this into perspective.
“Employers are looking for ways to reduce their recruitment costs in the wake of the economic downturn, according to a recent survey by Personnel Today’s sister organisation, pay specialist IRS.
The survey of 143 employers - covering a combined workforce of almost 489,000 people - found that employers were typically reviewing four main areas of their recruitment procedures in an attempt to save cash, such as the use of advertising, deciding whether or not to fill certain vacancies, the cost of agency fees, and candidate selection procedures.
The areas receiving the most attention were found to be:
Finding alternatives to recruitment advertising (73.5%) Reducing the use of agencies or other suppliers, or getting better value for money (71.3%) Improving the cost effectiveness of recruitment advertising (71.3%) Tackling recruitment budgets and staffing (58.1%) Imposing recruitment delays and freezes (54.4%).However, recruitment freezes - which have been imposed by 32% of employers - can have an adverse effect on staff morale, workloads and stress levels.
One business software company in the survey said: “Recruitment freezes always end up increasing recruitment expenditure in the end. As vacancies are taken off freeze at the same time, the recruitment team becomes over-stretched and has to rely heavily on agencies to fill vacancies quickly.”
In total, the survey identified 50 specific areas of recruitment practice that employers are reviewing in a bid to cut costs. But the three most effective ways of doing so were found to be reducing agency fees and charges, recruitment freezes, and closely reviewing all vacancies to ensure that only the key posts are filled.
The findings also showed that the average employer saved 10% to 25% on its recruitment expenditure in the past year as a result of their efforts.
