I have 203k on my 2004 Z71. Other than wheel bearings and brake lines( thanks to salt) I have had no issues. I change my filter and fluid every 50k in the transmission.

I head down a week from today for a week

What kind of water temps are you guys seeing ?

Looks awful

Use a 6. 7 is too fast. Easier to speed up a retrieve than slow down

I use split tails when I want to fish faster

I'm surprised you catch any fish with plain lead. ?

Lizards don't work. Send them to me to melt down and repurpose.

Dry, clean and lube. Probably not much different than fishing in a down poor for a few hours

Interesting. I might have to give that a shot

I still use just plan old Stren. Worked for years

Upsize in your line. Run 15 pound test mono. Something that won't break the bank. The larger line will be easier to pick out the backlash. Throw a topwater so you don't have to worry about getting snagged while picking out a backlash. Practice practice practice

Lucky man to have your lady fishing with you

You guys don't prefish at all?

Boater or non boater? Bass boat or kayak?

I'm headed down on the 16th to GVILLE. Hopefully the rain and the weather hold steady for a while.

That stuff in the cup behind you keeping your drink cold

Looks like it moved to October.

Yozuri hybrid or original stren

Watch Berkely website. Seems to be the best bet. They had a couple colors yesterday. Out today. Other than that it's hurry up and wait

This is what I run. Haven't had to test it yet. Comfortable to wear though

I run ML. Same rod for river smallies.

This video of Aaron Martin helped me a lot. No more issues.

I didn't know they came without painted blades

Fantastic
