Never felt I had to lie about something I wanted to do. After 48 yrs I'd like to think she didn't either. Mike

What Do You Take?
I have a bag with 7 boxes, a small lunch bag that I put lunch, sun screen, keys, etc. PDF, 6 rods and rain gear if forecasted. I always ask what the plan is but that's for rigging the night before and then just go from there. Mike

Pitching with Fluorocarbon
Well...My opinion is it's all in your thumb anyway, it shouldn't matter what reel you use for pitching. I have at least 2 brakes on every reel I have and 1 has 3, but when pitching I just loosen the cast control knob to get a free fall and then tighten back up if I decide to cast with it. The size, style or manufacturer doesn't matter. Mike

Lake Okeechobee

How Many Rods?
I have 6 that I use most often. 2 H/F...Frogs, C Rig and punching 4 MH/F for everything else. The action of each are different with different size reels and line which dictates what I use for what. Mike

I didn't tie that.
It's a wind knot Somtimes it'll come out if you pull hard enough sometimes it won't. If not I'd retie Mike

What fluoro should I try on crankbait rod?
Try Invizx, it's a good quality line that has as good a knot strength as most others. Its too stretchy for me to use for anything else but makes a good line for cranks.

Lake Okeechobee
It would help if you told us where you plan to launch from. It's a big lake. Anyway... If you're going out of Clewiston come out of the lock turn right and head for So Bay. If Okeechobee or Okeetanie you can fish the river or go into the lake head 2:00 and fish the shoals. If Harney Pond, go into the lake, turn left and go about 1/4 mile and start there working your way north. If J&S I'd start at the lock and head south. Good Luck Mike

Braid on casting reel
I've used original Power Pro (30#, 50#,65# and 80#) for years and honestly I can't remember any of them bleeding as bad as you describe. I use KVD Line and Lure on everything which must help Mike
