Can't agree more. My cat growing up was a hunter. She'd leave for days and would always come back with a present for us - albeit dead. One day I was playing ball out back and my cat was just sitting there while a bird would come down to with 5-6' of here trying to irritate her. After like 3 or 4 time the bird did that my cat jumped up and snagged the bird out of the air. The bird just fluttered down like a jig with a rage chunk on, only to be eaten my a hungry cat. ?

This is great advice that I'll be playing around with on Friday when i get on the water...Thanks a million!

Crippled Herring Bayou Boogie

There's a ton of threads in this forum on this lake. I've never fished it but heard that it's a tough lake to fish.

It's up to us to bring back old technology...LOL...Good deal man

I hate to admit this because it is old school, but the one thing I like about my Garmin is that is has a flasher option. I can switch over quick enough to see if fish are present. I know what you're thinking, I'm stuck in the 80's...?

Fast and extra fast for me is really effective on a hook set with thicker wired hooks. The ned has a thin wire I would use more of a mod-fast. Better for casting as well IMHO.

Can't agree more @J Francho

I guess it doesn't matter...I do like your suggestion though, unless one would opt for more of a saltwater vessel?

I'm assuming you're fishing Lake Winnipesaukee?

I like it! Good luck.

I'm not a guide, nor do I have any desire to be one, but have a tremendous amount of respect for those who do. Anyway, I work for a commercial construction corporation and tipping to me is like a holiday bonus. I don't expect one but really do appreciate getting one. The guides I tipped in the past expressed appreciation which made me feel good. 20% is starters for me.

Usually black heads for darker dressings and white for baitfish type presentations. Can't see spending extra money for something that just gets lost.

I thought I heard the Tuna bite was picking up. This 97"er was caught not far from me. Man I wish I had the right tackle and boat for this?

This thread seamed to have stood the test of time. Started in 2010, came back to life in 2017 again in 2021. For a $1.00 spinnerbait. ?

I would think you would try to do both, charting off the water and recon on the water, wouldn't you?

I personally like a fast action rod from a hook set standpoint. What I find is that rod action vary from 1 rod manufacturer to the other. My opinion anyway. The rod I mentioned is a fast action rod, but compared to a St Croix I built a while ago, it acts more like a med-fast, maybe a little stiffer than that.

I love mine

If they’re that far down would it be better vertically fishing for them? Maybe squid jigging a spoon?

It’s hard to do electrical work with a fishing rod in your hands. ? I’ve seen you work. Haha

Why not just go buy another mail box? Put it on your credit card, wait a month to see if the new box works? ? If it does work then go back to buy the zip ties that @12poundbass suggested.

Never thought of it...it's a good idea.

Never even entered my mind...all good mi amigo

ROFL! My fingers are crossed for ya!

DIY rod holder, ?
