LCM, I onlu used one lc pointer 128 for the whole week. I only used the tail treble hook which I replaced once. The bait lost most of the paint & coloration.

I'm old school & prefer the full grip. The split grip is more of a finesse tool for me.

Gavin looks pretty happy in that picture. It won't be long before he really grows into some big fish. Well done!

I just got back from a one week fishing trip at lake athabasca in northern Saskatchewan Canada. My buddy & I caught over 600 pike for the week opener. We had 13 fish boated over 20 lbs. Our biggest fish was 29 lbs. We had two 27lbers, a 26lb, 24lb, 23lb & numerous 20-22 lbers. Best two baits were a lc pointer 128 & a blue fox vibrax spinner with orange fluted french blade. What a slimy week it was!

Sweet as always.

Jenga, A bad fishing trip is like a hemroid. It takes time to get over it. ;D

Great lookin bass, CJ.

What Catt said x2.

Those are great bass. Congratulations.

Mike the smile says it all!

Congrats on your new PB!

Awesome striper!

Your thinking right. The saltwater boat will work just fine in fresh water. No extra maintenance required for fresh water versus salt water and it will allow you peace of mind on larger fresh water lakes.

I was out smallie fishing with jerk baits last November on lake erie. I had five nice smallies when a bonus steelhead which measured 32" and weighed 12.5 lbs grabbed my jerkbait 10 to 12 feet away from the boat. A new PB steelie for me. I have had double digit channel cats & pike as well. You never know what might hit next.

Great looking fish! Enjoy the steaks.

Nice fish, dink! Great looking spot.

Sounds like you got the heavy work out of the way. Now you only have some fine tuning to do. It's great to learn a new technique. Nice bass too.

I avoid it by fishing during the week. But if it's your only chance to fish get there before or after the crowd. Otherwise look for electric only or speed restricted waters.

If your looking for only one rod go with a MH power & moderate action.

firefightn15, Don't we all?

Congrats on that new PB.

Yes it is. Here is another example.

I picked up the same reel & paired it up with a st croix avid crankbait rod AVC70MM. I spooled up with 150 yards of 10lb suffix performance braid. Cast like a dream with baits from 1/8 up to an ounce. Super combo. Very light weight, super smooth drag & can handle anything the smallies throw at it.

WTG Mike. Sounds like your tearing them up.
