Yep, no more than three hooks total in PA. Talked to an old fella at a seminar once, he makes BIG musky lures. Said he had a bait with four hanging trebles and had a fish warden politely inform him that it was illegal to have the 4th hook on the bait.

ACR or SCAR? Can't really tell.

Oh, I know. Unfortunately.

I can see it being damaged by engaging the thumbar before the spool has stopped but not solely by throwing a heavier bait. I know just a bit about throwing heavy baits. Just a bit.

Later in the day, say in a late spring/summer pattern from 3pm until just before dark then about an hour after dark when the fish have transitioned to nighttime feeding.

We'll get something figured out. I have a GoPro too.

Jerkbaits as slow and deep as you can stand to fish them. I'd look for rocks in the sun and your NW banks are going to have the most light on them for the longest period of the day.

Actually, if you have the GoPro and want to use that then you should get the Motosports suction mount and put it on the cowling of the motor. I'm a little leary of it falling off, but I've heard reports of the Motosport suction cup being used on the wing of a bi-plane going over 200mph (can't officially endorse the activity as the FAA says that it's a no-no ), so unless those Mexican fellas have 1000hp motors on those boats I think you would be fine that way. I've also seen something that said during testing, the GoPro staff used the suction mount to pull a dent out of a staffer's car. LOL I still recommend the Gorilla pod though as you can make a tripod out of it or wrap it around something in the boat. Very handy little guy. Both are very good things to have.

On the occasions I have used the rig, I threw it on an STX-L with 65lb braid without any problems. Anything above 2.5oz and I would probably switch it to my 301 Curado or Lexa 300L

A war cry for irresponsible youth. "You Only Live Once" It sounds nice and somewhat rebellious but seeing as though I am now a card-carrying member of Team Depends, it's merely sounds like an excuse for poor choices.

I'd like to start a motion that any YOLO references are treated with the same regard as NAFC, Banjo Minnow and "How do I use a senko?" questions/comments.....

Gorilla Pods are your friend when you aren't in your own boat. Started saving, anxiously anticipating info on the next one.

That's about as big of a production swimbait as you are EVER going to see. The only thing that even gets close to the mass of that thing that went to production is probably the OG 10" Freestyle.

I'm a HUGE KVD L&L fan. Adding to The Rooster's post, you can also use it to clean the screen of your electronics and your sunglasses.

Well, they got more snow and cold rain today. Weather pattern looks to be a bit more sun this week, you'll probably find some water in the low 40's but I wouldnt expect much warmer temps than that.

Now you're thinkin'....

I've seen them I believe. Reminds me of a Trigger X bait.

I take it the trip went well then? LOL I'll be expecting a PM from you Dwight

Si senor.

Try sticking a piece of foam in the open "nose" part and C-rigging the bait. Shhh....

Water temps were 38 last weekend at a local lake. I still got a while. LOL

Any rough idea how much 1000 9mm rounds would cost to ship from your experience? Just a guess is fine.

I hear ya man. I'm actually a big fan of fishing in the snow too for the exact reasons you mentioned. Water might be cold but it sure is peaceful.

So, just so I'm clear... This is a bulk pack of ammo. Wrap it, put it in another box, tape it up, put the ORM-D tag on it and take it to UPS. They will give me a price and then ship it? There's no interrogation about what is in the box, etc?

I've never been to the Cabela's in Hamburg and not seen a full parking lot. I was there yesterday to pick something up at 9am when they opened and the lot was already half full. Someone does their research.
