How long has your current fish finder lasted you?
7 yr old lower end one here that I’m replacing. Still works great, just putting in bigger and better.

Can I pair a 100-150 sized casting reel with a 7-7’2” rod for cranking or does it need to be shorter?
No it probably wouldn’t be too small. Just don’t mix Daiwa and Shimano or vice versa…

Weedy and shallow Lake Baits
Take the colors you just mentioned and get some RageTail Space Monkeys. You can buzz it like a toad and then let it fall in holes like a beaver/craw. It is a ton of fun to fish.

Panfish forums?
There are definitely more than a few people that hunt big panfish with lures and or flies, they just don’t talk about it much, and there’s not many big bluegill or shell cracker tourneys like there are for bass, crappie, catfish, and even walleye. It is every bit as hard to catch a true trophy panfish with or without live bait as it is to catch a trophy largemouth. But live baiting or jigging big panfish is much different than chunk and dunk bobber fishing. You really are looking for seasonal big fish spots just like with largemouth.

Truck Head Scratcher
Drive it a little and see if it starts dripping, that is when mine was most noticeable.

Truck Head Scratcher
I had a similar issue, but with a different vehicle - a 2006 4Runner. It was the sunroof drain clogged with pollen and a poplar seed. Putting weedeater twine through it and then some warm soapy water syringed through fixed it. Just a little water would run through the drivers side pillar and drip on the floor Matt. Drove me nuts because I’d feel a little splash on my leg but couldn’t figure out where it came from.

Have you experienced your line being tangled around the fish head and under the wires of the A-Rig?
It’ll be a smaller, narrower head, if that makes a difference. Smooth is fast with the big danglies.

I get it now
It works wherever fish eat other fish, which is everywhere there are fish…so…yes.

Best overall baits? For any fish down south
I love an inline spinner or a 2 inch curl tail grub on a 1/16th or 1/8 oz jig head, white is never the wrong color, I also like motor oil or green pumpkin.

Infusing whiskey
I have a couple buddies that do this, and the flavored ones have been iffy, at best. I’m not a big flavored whiskey guy though. The ones they’ve added wood chips or barrel pieces to over time have been much better, but they take longer to see returns. Good luck!

Help deciding on fish finder
That’s great for both of you but I’m not seeing a 93sv with a transducer (or without one for that matter) for $699. The 63sv with the GT54 is or possibly the 93sv Striker? Just saying, buyer beware before you end up with another expense after you open the box.

At that price I bet it’s not even the GT54…it’s either the GT20(?) or doesn’t come with the transducer.

Help deciding on fish finder
Also fwiw - make sure you get the transducer with the unit, and that transducer (GT56 on the Garmin) is the right one for the features you are looking to use. There’s a lot of tricky pricing out there for units without having the right transducer included

Tragic Kayak Accident......
I’d like to challenge everyone’s decisions back to being teenage males. I made some terrible decisions as a teen, as I’m sure several (not all) people did. Hindsight has an more extensive view from the height of a high horse. Maybe ease up a little.

Pro fisherman, popular YouTuber Ben Milliken charged with fishing tournament fraud
I’m just waiting for the new 6th Sense Clickbait to come out in Jailbreak (black/white) or Warden (Orange). If you’re gonna lean in, might as well go all the way. Obviously there’s no jail time for what he allegedly did but cmon that’d be funny

Anybody watching college football today?
OSU played well and UT did not…Add some injuries to pile on and BOOM… roasted on national TV. It went about as bad for us as it could have gone. On to basketball…

Why not more canoeists?
@TnRiver46 probably needed the distraction this morning like I do… My only add is Native makes the Ultimate in various sizes. It is truly a hybrid canoe with kayak seat(s). They are great fish from and you can stand in them, with the larger sizes being more stable.
