Thanks for all the tips ya'll

citica all the way

Hey all I just got an revo sx on e-bay for $130 NIB.My quandry is I just started to use a baitcaster last year(shimano citica)and feel fairly proficiant with it.Revo has a mag brake system that is different than the citica>I'm unsure as to how I should set this reel.Any tips,ideas,suggestions as to set the brakes. Thank ya much in advance, ac

One tip I can offer would be to locate pockets of slack water that also have faster water flowing into or around it.Smallies have the tendency to locate in these kinds of areas this time of year in my experience.Hope it helps ya.

What kind of water?Being a creek fisher I like X-raps,topwaters(tiny torpedo,buzzbait)Senko- type weightless or wacky.

Too cold yet,suspended out in deeper water still?

FREE ;D

Gotta be the time i forgot to re-charge battery.At a friends pond(4 maybe 5 acres)no problem getting to the far side where the stumps are.While there and on fish I notice troller isn't quite up to par,we fish for an hour or so when wind starts to blow.Look up and clouds are coming FAST,of course the wind is blowing in the exact opposite direction of the landing.Well it starts to sprinkle and looks to be ready to get worse so we stop and start back.Within 2 min.we can no longer make any headway againsn't the wind,battery croaks!!It was about this time we realized 2 things,#1-The sprinkle was now a full-fledged downpour,#2-We forgot to put oars in the boat. Had to be one of the funniest sights the two of us soaking wet paddling with tree limbs accross that pond.

My experience is streams and creeks but I'll assume it would be the same. 1st find shallow water with rocky bottom 2nd find rocks softball sized or larger 3rd slowly lift one side so you don't stir up silt or spook crayfish 4th come in from tail side with hand or small net and creep up to crayfish and either scoop or pinch and pin on main body 8-) Hope this helps ya, ac

Anyone need a kidney?

Just need the knowledge as to your location,ie.What are you fishing?Lakes,ponds,streams,cricks,etc.$100 will get you an ok? rod/reel,then add in line,tackle and assorted gear,time to talk to the bait monkey 8-)

Try black jitterbugs,frog torpedos,etc.Up here they seem to love the dark top-waters.Be prepared for some vicious strikes 8-)
