Pa Angler

I concur, but I use the braid striaght up without a leader I have found that fishing cover and in the shade under docks I don't need a leader just something to consider.

Take a look at the BPS and Cabela's combo deals before you buy they have some good deals at a discount you may get more for your money then buying separately.

I use a palomar knot on my braids when ever possible and believe it or not when I can't I have used the improved trilene knot with no failures of the knot.

Everyone has their favorite but I use the Okuma Aveon 30 & 40 spinning reels and I'm very happy with them excellent anti-reverse, awesome drag and very very smooth.

I'd take a look at the BPS Bionic Blade an excellent rod for the money.

I use them and you won't go wrong with them. My best colors are Black & Silver, Shad, Blue chrome And Frog colors.

I have used the trebles once never again between the defective ones and the weak ones they aren't worth a .01 points bend with little pressure. Take them back if you can. >

Awesome fish, great job congrats.

I have tangled with those toothy critters sometimes you get bit off I lost a Pointer 78DD after one cast so goes $16 down the drain but they are kinda neat really slimy and slippery though aren't they. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Welcome to the forum. Keep checking this forum daily, ask questions and listen you'll be alright here.

WOW!!!!! That's great. Good luck.

After checking Tracker.com it has to be part of the price differenc of $3,000.00 you think that 2 compatments wouldn't be that costly go figure.

I gotta tell ya My 90 Merc's is striaght and my boat runs straight seems to me the yours is acting like a fixed rudder causing you boat to go to the right try adjusting it straight and work it from there adusting it in the opposite direction that your boat is running until it runs straight.

I would put the motor up and use a transom saver there's more weight on the transom with the motor unsupported and all the way down. The saver will connect to the lower unit and to the bottom of the trailer. Here's a site for savers. www.veveinc.com/shop/customer/home.php?cat=18

If you have as I have the Springfield D plug in system you may not be able to use it as the base is not shown on the link you supplied.

Well I will have to add another option I don't use foot control or hand tiller control I use remote control called Co-Pilot works for me. Have a Minn Kota 24V Power Drive with the Auto-Pilot feature as well I have had no trouble as some have stated in this forum with this unit and yes be sure you get a variable speed motor which ever one you get.

Very resourcefull good job. I'm going to check my gocery store to see if they will allow me to have or purchase. Thanks for the info.

Welcome to the forum. Depends on what time of year it is, If you fishing now in the cold then I would use a 3" jerkbait such as a Pointer 78SP or DD very slowly or a Senko riged as a jerkbait or wacky rigged also very slowly along dropoffs into the deeper water Bass in PA have not moved to spawn yet as the weather warms you can start to go shallow and can speed up the retreive just remember though it's illeagal to bed fish in PA. I would not be afraid to try small crankbaits as well. I fish Wallenpaupack for most of my PA fishing I can't use my main motor on Nokamixon and I have heard stories of boat owners waiting for over an hour at Beltsville just to launch their boats so I have stayed away from those 2 lakes but the Pack has the structure of both of those lakes from what I have seen on maps so fishing should be similar. Good Luck

I voted for BPS but I do like Cabela's equally.

BPS 3.5" HighBack Shiner black and silver $2.49

Armorall leaves an oily film behind and yes it will leave itself on your hands try using silicone spray it doesn't leave an oily film behind and will soak into the cork better.

I have that one and really like it. I use it on and off my boat mine came with 4 3600 boxes but it can be had without them.

Don't just look a Polarizing if you like your vision you need the best UV protection you can get cheap glasses don't give you the UV protection that you can get with a good pair I like the Solar Bat lineup.

Awesome fish great job.
