Caliyak

Alabama is not App state. What a game!

Keep the Silver Max for sure. Get rid of the rod. If you are on a budget, lightning rod shock 7 ft medium heavy. If not, get a mh rod that you like. My 2 cents

I agree. Fan since the 70s and not changing

Kaep will not take them to the promise land. Seeing him every week for the past 4 years, he has been exposed. I recommend the Vikings go get a young pocket QB. We do but so does every fan about their team. New season and new hopes. Even Raider fans, out here in Cali, have SB buses already. LOL AP is big but stack the box and he's done. Vikings need to throw to keep the D honest. We just miss football and we look forward to it every year.

We can count on the Vikings not making it to the SB. Cowboys get #6

If ND goes undefeated with that schedule; they will #1 and in the playoffs. There biggest down side, two Qbs. You can't do it with two. Oct 15 Tide goes to Vols land. If Bama gets spanked, no stopping the Orange. I follow all college ball but Pac-12 is my conference and Wassu is my team. Pac-12 will beat themselves out of the playoffs. from top to bottom, the Pac-12 is the more competitive conference. Anything can happen out here.

No one is talking about ND. I've been reading that Tennessee might be the SEC team to beat. Where are Tenn guys?

LOL, here come the Tide guys. Bama finally plays a West Coast team in preseason. This is going to be a game. But, who takes out Bama this year? Week one games are bowl games and a lot will be settled from the start.

Spinning reel on medium rod

Season starts Thursday night. who will be in the playoffs? So let the arguing begin:

I don't see a need for standing. If I was on a flowing river, I would not stand. some do and they can't live without it. So, do you want to stand? Funny comment; fish don't care if you are sitting or standing, $500 or $50 reel and what brand you bought.

A victory for California

The most important advise, find a yak with a comfortable seat and your life jacket is critical. Start with these two first. Demo as many as possible. It's your boat so pick the boat that fits you.

As a banker, some two old dudes pull right on front of us and started to fish right in front of me. Literally his lizard hit my feet. I was furious. I said a few words in Spanish and he knew what I said. So I cast my senko over his boat. I scratched the boat when I yanked with everything I had. As a yaker: boat guy, wanna-be pro, rolls up on me and cuts me off. Proceeds to say that I was in the way. I wanted to put 10 holes in his plastic boat. Thank you for the high blood pressure. I need a drink. LOL

Abu Garcia Black Max combo

LOL, can't stop laughing. Jon, in golf, I'm sure you have hit a bird, duck, car or home. Same thing. Accidents happen and we just move along. Don't let this one incident sour your fishing. Enjoy it and have fun.

1. Topo map of your lake or pond. 2. When the lake drops in water level, go out and take pictures of spots. 3. I used my anchor rope to measure depth before I bought my finder. With a sharpie, 5 feet markings. 4. Ask a friend, local tackle shop, store guy or co angler

I'm getting the Ion

Dude, save some cash and get something better. I'm about your same size, I went for a boat that can hold me.

Perception but you pick what you like.

If the pros are not pushing them, not good baits. LOL Rooster tails for me and I use them year round.

You have to start the reel with mono, a backing of mono. This is very important to prevent the braid from slipping and to save you money on buying braid. You can add hundred yards of mono and one hundred yards of braid. The 300 yard spool will last you longer.

30 or 40lb braid

Flipping and roll cast is easy. Pitching is easy while standing. While sitting, a little tougher but it can be done. Just remember, you are on a kayak, get closer or on top of the bass, no need to pitch but flip.
