Theres different temps in the water column but there is no dead zone..i see fish from top to bottom all year in this and every other lake around here i promise you.

Correct, yoy gills etc.. and crawdads would ne the main forage there. And i do focus on visible cover i.e rip rap trees etc...and i beleive they do stay in the general area like you say because ive caught the same fish in the same area on many occasions, i know because every fish i catch gets a pic and i enter it in a log i keep for future reference...

If you forget its not the end of the world, if you fish often then just loosen it up next time. Myself i never do it and have never experienced any drag issue ever and i fish a lot.

Wind anchor??? Are you referring to a drift sock? If so X2 on that....

According to our fisheries biologist there is no thermocline in this or other similar size/depth lakes in eastern nebraska..

No thermocline in any lakes around here, and your right the island does not bear fruit 90% of the time, yrs creek feeds it from the nkrth end and the creek by campground has a small dam with a screen to keep carp and other invasives out wich failed..

Have a buddy who has had one of rheir spinning rods for 20yrs or more and he loves it..

Reveiws i think make you second guess yourself sometimes, i have the G2 speed spin(50-60 bucks) and i love it!super smooth reel,i will say its a tad heavy but depending on what you put it on makes a difference. I jave mine on a lews laser LG speed stick and it balances great! About a hundred frogskins for both, great combo for the money IMO..

As both being my 2 favorite brands i can tell you that the internals look almost the exact same, wether they are the same parts or not i dont know but ive never had any issues with either one...

Wrb is correct the jetties do have drainages/deep water right up to them for shore access for bank pounders...

Heres the whole lake... cunningham.pdf

I can tell everyone who has posted so far are very capable fisherman from responses from just a map...all areas are productive, very suprised though nobody has said anything about the creek east of the ramp by the campgrounds...

You can see the cover( trees) on google maps etc... glenn cunningham lake omaha nebraska just north of I-680. Cant miss it..

No shad....

Besides the roadbed wich is pretty much a levee thats 25ft across and is about 8ft below the surface on top with drops on either side and the shoals there is no real structure in the lake basin, its e renovated lake that was silted in bad so pretty much wat they did was was removed silt from around the shores to make the average depth deeper along with all the jetties,breakwaters,island and vegitation barriers and added the rip rap on the shorelines. Theres no thermocline in the lake...the dam has a small outlet structure on the sw corner of the dam but does not create any current, theres water going into it but its there to keep the lake at normal pool although it will get high for a couple days with good rains..

I fish smaller local lakes 75% of the time. My favorite ways to fish are weightless flukes,senkosetc... lipless cranks and jigs,swim,bladed,wobble heads etc...

I should have mentioned that theres a roadbed with a small bridge(whats left,they broke it all up and left it in place) where rainwood road used to be before impounding the lake..also 95% of the lake is lined with rip rap, wich the breakwaters are also made of.. interesting answers so far..

Fish if you could only fish 2 spots? Besides the shoals...

Besides the boca pliers how else can you remove the pin to get the bearing out? I have a way i use but its a pain and if im not very very careful i can and have damaged the shaft and or spool...thanks...

The fish will be in all the new flooded cover, trees,brush,grass etc... if you can get to it fish it, it can be dynamite sometimes especially if it flooded in the last couple days...

When i bought it i didnt realize it had solvent in it but read that it evaporates in a few hours so i tried it and worked fine, also i wasnt cleaning my reel, just the bearings. I dont use it anymore and use the 321 now but i still let it sit overnight to give it time to bond with the molucules in the ss before blowing it out and putting them ack in the reel.. I guess i assumed that someone with plastic cages would see the word solvent and they would not use it and i shouldnt assume such things so for that i apoligize, should have thought about it more before posting...

Hey F4B, wich tournaments? Hope its not ones i fish!

Im aware of that,thats why i let the bearings sit overnight to evaporate and them blow them out with compressed air

I guess they can be affected rather they remember or not...

All valid points, but how can one learn if you have a 30 min memory span...
