Got A New Boat
Havnt had much time to really fish the area, just started last year. Beaver is great for quantity (but all fish around 15"). Lower nemahbin is good too. Looking to expand my range this year. Just got heavily into fishing last summer about midway though.

Question For Wisconsin Fishermen
Warden Authority Conservation wardens performing their duties may enter private land at any time. Wardens may also seize as evidence all fish taken or possessed in violation of the law, and any equipment used in connection with a violation. Wardens do not have the authority to enforce trespass laws. Taken from 2011 regulations, page 21

Gander had all their PP priced on sale for the last couple months (just ended) 150yds were like $13, and 300yds were $18...didnt matter the weight either. I picked up a 300yd spool of 80lb for $18 and free shipping... cant beat that.

Deal On Amazon???????
That is how a lot of stuff on amazon is. Amazon does stock and ship many items, but most of them come from different companies. I am sure a % goes to amazon, but companies basically use them as a medium to advertise their products instead of waiting for customers to "find" them. Also, with most items you have a choice of where you want to buy from. For any given item, there may be multiple stores that are offering it. That being said, I purchase a lot from amazon...and I also purchase a lot from retailers. Some things I am just not willing to buy from retailers if I can get it online for a significant amount cheaper with free shipping.I have yet to come across a local company that has impressed me enough to gain all my business. I bought two different rods from amazon, both came packed half +++ thankfully they were not broken. The tube could have easily fit 10 poles in it, and my pole was barely wrapped at all. The second one was packaged nicely, but that was from an outside retailer.

Fish On A Miscast ?
I fish from a kayak... one day we were out and it was slightly windy so we were being blown around a fair amount. Mid way through reeling in a cast I was drifting bad towards the shore, so I stopped reeling, laid my pole down and began to paddle a bit. As soon as I picked up my paddle my pole starts diving into the water, a bass had taken the buzzbait when it began sinking. Dropped my paddle, saved the pole... fish on

Buzzzzbaits
Ive caught more fish on my .99 chartreuse buzzbait from wal-mart than any other buzzbait in any color. It baffles me, but it works. I refuse to spend over a few bucks on buzzbaits/spinnerbaits...especially since they tend to get annihilated by toothy critters in my area

Help with a new addition to my rod arsenal?
I picked up the diawa megaforce combo from cabelas last year. It was my first baitcast setup, so I didnt want to break the bank. It is listed for $90, and there is free shipping right now. I got mine on sale for I think $70. I have caught a truckload of bass on this thing and have had no problems. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Daiwa-Megaforce174-Pre-Mount-Baitcast-Combos/738864.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch.cmd%3Fform_state%3DsearchForm%26N%3D0%26fsch%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3Dmegaforce%26x%3D0%26y%3D0%26WTz_l%3DHeader%253BSearch-All%2BProducts&Ntt=megaforce&WTz_l=Header%3BSearch-All+Products

Power pro
Maybe its quiter, but for almost double the price is it really worth it? Not sure how it is "a lot better"...Ill deal with a little bit of noise(which I dont notice), over spending almost double for 832. I am sure it is a good line, and if it drops in price after it has been out for awhile I will probably try it. PP works great for me, I would rather spend that extra $8 (as insignificant as it seems to others) on a new plug, or a couple packs of plastics. just my .02 though
