i put the fish on my knee and hold it just behind the head

corn isnt suggested for smaller fish, Bigger fish have bigger bowels so the fact they dont digest properly doesnt affect carp of that size. not sure if this is fact just remember reading it somewhere

I have never used cranks but i bought so many of the past few weeks i had BETTER learn

I saw the beginning of this thread and almost cried. I just placed an order for 10 of these in diff colors and sizes. Look to be a good crank, we shall see though

Corn is suppose to be good carp bait also

What kind of paint did you use on this? Looks awesome!

all these views and no response .. meanies! LOL guess nobody here has experienced this paint, that COULD be a good thing as there is a LOT of experience on this board when it comes to painting boats. Ill have to try a different brand Thanks for the reads though

Im using fluoro for the first time this year when the ice melts and the gods decide its time for me to get out and do some fishing. I am also going to widen the variety of baits i use. For years ive been a live bait/spinnerbait person and i think with a little patience i can do well. The lakes near me hold some monster waiting to be caught and on one particular lake i fish on there are only a few dozen people who have permission to fish the whole 10 acre lake Thank god i am included in that dozen ;D

Glad the little one survived. Terrible that his mother passed

Thanks for the help guys.. i just bought the eagle cuda 168 for $70 from BPS

Sorry for sounding so uneducated but... I am lol What is a transducer?

do the manuals for fish finders tell you how to properly read them or does that just come with usage/experience? Also I saw a ...Humminbird i think for a round $100 at Gander this past weekend. This will mainly be used to find structure. I want to be able to mark locations and what not so in the future i can go back to them spots and record them in my fishing journal.

Very Nice fish. Have i'm getting cabin fever in the worst possible way here :'(

I have Comcast and although a little expensive the service is 100% amazing. Rarely ever downtime and when there is we get a day or 2 knocked off the bill. Internet is the quickest ive ever used and the customer service is awesome

Very nice for your first trout. Congrats!

ahh thanks for that link...the Rapala knot is the one i have using since i started fishing, didnt know there was a name for it and was never taught. Just used it 8-)

not sure what kind of knot its called but i pretty much loop swoop go back through and pull ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

What has this world come to? If someone needs something that bad all they would need to do is ask me. I would prefer give someone something than have it stolen, guess I'm just that guy

x2 Just tried this line for the first time this year on RW's advice and I LOVE it

Looking for suggestions on a cheap but reliable fish finder for a 12 ft alum boat. I have never owned one so any suggestions would be great. Thanks for the time.

Congrats you two. Glad you had a good time and caught some nice fish

Flyers at Mall parking lots are a very CHEAP but effective way of advertising most product. Not 100% sure on how it would do in the fishing community

I can probably find it in PDF form for you if you post the exact model number here

Has anyone here tried it or seen the finish of it? The boat I bought is the first i will be restoring and I dont want to buy expensive paint just yet. I want to try my hand at it first so to speak.

Great Fish! Congrats on the catch...and the stain ;D
