popular beliefs you don't follow

I agree 110% with you about the "lefty" baitcasters. if you crank a spinning reel with your left hand, why wouldn't you also reel a conventional with your left hand? that's probably why I have so many lefty penns, because everytime I see one for sale I cant help myself

^^^^^^Me too^^^^^^No need to switch the rod to the other hand to retrieve after every cast also.

I haven't bought a baitcaster just for this reason. Some day...

Yeah I would have to agree also, I use my left hand with a spinning reel, and I used to use a right handed baitcaster and it just didn't feel right. So I decided to buy a left handed baitcaster and it seems to feel much better and more natural for me.

i've got this one friend who keeps bringing bananas out on the boat

Haha, my friends dad brought a banana on a party boat and some guys were blaming him for not catching anything so he put a sliver of peel on his diamond jig and caught bluefish on it.

When I'm fishing for 8 to 10 hours, I find that using a baitcaster with the handle on the right side is a nice change of pace from the spinning reel with the handle on the left. I switch back and forth but in the end, go with your preference.

I'm with you all on the baitcasters, as a lefty I always found the right-handed reels more comfortable.

I never put much stock in weather patterns. Sure, fish may be more active at certain times, but just because it's cloudless and windy, doesn't mean there are no fish to catch.

I'm in with the baitcaster posse... I'm righty but only use lefty baitcasters... much more comfortable and don't have to switch hands on the cast...

I definitly second that one L.A.! Although I would like to educate myself more on the weather patterns, and humity & baromic pressure. They've gotta have some effect, right? But I can honestly say I've landed fish in rain, sleet, and snow. Actually went out during hurricane Sandy and had success on the river. Even during crazy high flow they're still gonna eat given an opportunity.

This may not be bad weather, but extreme current.
