Unreal!!!

Slab perch boys!!!

Glad to see you able to get out in that muck.

Scoped out a couple of soon to be open water areas.....won't be long...I hope

Great post once again!

Excellent post once again

Looks like you guys had a pile of fun, glad to hear that it's warming up a bit for you up there.

I'll be not far from(Chisisabi area) you guys in mid July and am looking forward to some trophy pike fishing.

Cheers

As long as the OOS is released and your not targeting, I don't see the problem. As far as pix....I don't post'm, but am not offended to view others as long the fish was released.

Cheers

To speed up the "learning curve" you may want to use a super line as your 1st spool. Has a tendency to hold to the spool a little better than mono/flocrbn. (less backlashing/birdnests)

Just remember that we were born with thumbs for a reason.....1 was to use baitcasters!!!

Cheers

Looks like you guys had fun out there. That snake still had a lot green on'em , great colours on the Crappi as well.

Cheers.

Great to see you and the fam had a blast down there. Awesome variety
of fish.

Did you get into any Jacks or Grouper while you were down?

Cheers, Jeremy

Hey Grover,

Generally florocarobon line is less visible underwater than most lines and has less stretch than monofilament.(also less line memory)

Havn't found many disadvantages w/t it. Due to it's brittleness, I wouldn't go any higher than 8 lb if using it as a main line on spinning gear.

Cheers

Tried the 6 & 8 lb Crystal this fall and had good results w/t both....6 lb is a little easier on the ceramic guides.

P.S. Make sure to run backing on those superlines!

Cheers

Hey Matt,

You'd need a lid of a Magnum Bubba to make the lures you throw

Welcome Wanabe,

30 lb leaders should be strong enough, 9"-18" will usually do for lenghth.

Look for the "ball bearing" swivel leaders....helps w/t the twisting.

If the fish are bigger don't be afraid to pick up a couple of 50-60 lbers.

Cheers

Hope you have some high ceilings @ home....don't wanna hear about any
early season tip replacements

I throw the hookless tube to avoid any foul hooked canines.....seriously it almost happened!!!

Neighbors are looking @ me cross-eyed as I pitch hookless tubes into a bucket at the side of my building.

Hey Jighead.....bet your doin' the same before snows out!

Awsome report/pix

That is an awesome shot of the big laker.

Mean lookin' machine ya got there, must come really handy w/t your
guests.

Scrap the sled idea.....now I want an Argo!!!

Great report w/t some equally great pix.

I've really gotta get a sled!!!
