Danny, I’ve grown up feathering a spinning reel and have a couple of nice BC reels in the shop but not bfs. I don’t handle the BC reels enough to be as good as I once was. One of them is a Shimano...

And at 13” they’re extra tough. My PB is just over 13 also and I’m glad I didn’t get him on one of my tiny UL rigs. A 5’6” light action and 4 lb mono got it done. He was in the middle of the trash. I...

Most of what I’ve seen that came out of the MTB isn’t stuff I’d use. I think it would be better for new fishers to try things outside their comfort zone.

Smells like a good dinner to em. I like the thick fillets sometimes. I cut em into finger sized pieces and they cook quick and all the way through. A bit different.

You did have an excellent day!! That’s a lot of fish and those crackers had to be the stars of the day. Days like that, for me, are tough in that you forget to do things like stretch and drink water...

Buckeye, yes I have and I have to say that only part of it is me. We all know who’s in charge and He’s smiled on me of late.

Hoosier, I have already had those thoughts but I have to say that...

You need the FIL to make another trip to upgrade the storage for that. It’ll be sweet.

And now let’s stick a new Tahoe in front of it for another 80K. It’s a wonderful fishing machine if I had the use for all of it.

That’s what I took with me for a quick trip to the river. Just having the new rig all put together and not having used it left too many questions unanswered. Plus my ocd was about to make me nuts. I...

SS, none to speak of.I’m going to post about this afternoons trip

I for one am interested in what you find. Have fun fishing today.

In this case ya gotta take what you’re given and count them as blessings. I’ve been with my wife 44 years end of the month. In all that time she’s only been in my boat less than 10 times, doesn’t...

CP took the words out of my mouth. It happened to me also and I replaced them both too. Keeping the odd one in the boat may save someone else’s day. Fishawk had his up side go out and couldn’t...

I don’t have one of those but I have lots of others. What I wanted to mention referred to length. I fish a lot of close quarters and that long a rod wouldn’t get much use. If you’re bank fishing or...

You need to catch up one day soon. I’m just spoiled having them in my backyard.

They’re cool and all that, I agree, but they’re best on a Taco! Nice plump fillets.

They’re both good solid fish though, probably cousins. Wish I’d gotten out today but I did get some happiness just the same. You’ll see the post. Nice fish, hope you get out with your bud soon.

Just got home from work and the Daiwa rod I had ordered was supposed to be delivered on the 15th was sitting in my chair. That’s 9 days ahead of schedule and I couldn’t be happier. It’s a Daiwa trout...

Pm sent

That’s no small success! Nice fish! I’ve gotten a few when I lived further north but I don’t think any were that size.

I know zip about them but I wouldn’t argue with success.

Major KABOOM on the green fish brother!! Good job sniffing up the rod too. Sounds like we both had good days this weekend. I’m patiently awaiting your next telling of a Kaboom adventure.

If it was enough to make you smile, then it was enough. Glad you got out, it can be tough to find the time sometimes. Good lookin green fish.

I admire your dedication to the trials but I’m not gonna join ya on this one. I have enough addictions in this fishing game already. I’ll let folks call me names for not trying it and smile. My hard...

There’s a couple of things that come to mind or already said but what comes to mind for me is reverse tying with the fluff forward and tight. Once in the water it would have super action and a...

An excellent outing, and your PB! That’s even better. I can smell the taco fixings from here. That’s more than one dinner with any crowd I know.

Another excellent project Tom. I could use one of those.

I use many methods. Super glue works good and even better when it has even a light thread base to adhere to. I have used a thread bump on the shank as well that works well with my Itty bitty slab...

Fooled with Betty today and long story short, it was suckin air inside the tank. The silicone hose between the pickup tube and connected fitting on top of the tank had gotten hard and relaxed just...

MCG, the reel on the rod with the gold bands is a Presso 1025 in 1000 size. Ultraslab hooked me up with it and I sent him some jigs, lots of em, in return. The best reel I own. It rides on a Phenix...
