It's definitely not my favorite FC, but for that price point it's the best I've used. I haven't had any problems with it. I just don't think it handles quite as nice as Berkley 100%, Seaguar, or Sun Line. You're also paying up to 3 times as much so that's to be expected.

Thanks alot for all the tips guys! Keep them coming. Only three days till we leave. It's great to hear you all have been doing well.

Thanks alot for the help. We really appreciate it. We just put a new Humminbird 898c si on my Dad's boat so we shouldn't have a problem finding brushpiles off of docks this year. Thanks, keep the tips coming!!

Hi everyone. My family and I are heading to LOZ on the 22nd for a long overdue fishing trip. It's been over two years since we have been there and we are pumped!!! I was wondering if any of you would be kind enough to give us a few pointers. We will be staying near MM 33. The weather has been fairly cool as of late so I am kind of wondering what stage the fish are in. I know some people may be hesitant to post their favorite spots and techniques so feel free to PM me if you'd like to help us out. Thanks in advance for everyone's help!! Jay

IMO Costa Del Mars with Green or Blue Mirrored lenses are the absolute best lenses for fishing. I own Maui Jims as well. They have great lenses too, but they don't compare to the mirrored 580 lenses from Costa Del Mar. I was shocked at the things I could see under the water the first time I put them on.

Wow.... A 40 degree temp change in one day. Add the rain and the wind. Is anyone fishing in that crap??

Thanks Matt. PM sent.

Just wondering if anyone on here has fished Lake Fork in the last couple days. We just got here yesterday and fished Little Lake Cove #1 and Wolf Branch today without a single bite. Most of the people we talked to sounded like they were having about the same luck. Has anyone had any luck lately? If so, could you give me some pointers? Thanks in advance for the help.

Any pics? OH and if you have any idea on prcing send me PM. I'd love a BBZ1 in a bluegill pattern. If you have some pics, could you PM me too? Thanks

That's great to hear that about Tom. I just emailed him a couple days ago, and I think my dad and I are going to try to set up a day or two with him early next year.

Kyle, Great fish!!! Looks like you guys had a great time. We still need to hit up the secret honeyhole by Lincoln. One of our gun guys has caught some hogs there lately. A 7lb. 2oz., a 6lb. 12oz., a 6lb. 5oz. and a bunch more over five. My biggest of the two times I've been there is only 3lb 13oz. Needless to say I haven't quite figured that lake out yet. > Give me a hollar sometime!!! Jay

I'm heading down tommorrow and will be coming back next Mon. Hopefully we have some good days. Good Luck to everyone.

Only nine more days till I'm there. Thanks alot for the updates guys...keep them coming.

Awesome guys, thanks for the updates. Sounds like they might be right in the middle of spawning when I get down there. If anyone else has any reports I'd love to hear them. Thanks again.

I was just wondering if anyone has fished LOZ lately?? I'll be heading down there in 17 days and counting!! 8-) Last I heard the water was really high. I was wondering what stage of the spawn they were in. I didn't know if this cold weather and heavy rains would have pushed it back. Thanks in advance for all the help.

My choice would be the Reaction Innovation Vixen. It's alot like a spook but I think it's actually alot louder. I seem to walk the dog easier with the vixen as well. It might be a little higher than $10 though so if you want to stay lower than 10 bucks I'd go with the spook too.

Will, I do agree one option is to get a decent locator and a handheld GPS. I also know alot of the lakes you fish and know that most of their maps are available on the Navionics South chip. Zorinsky, Wherspan, and Walnut are all on the chip. One of the least exspensive units you could get that would be compatible with the Navionics chips would be the Eagle Fish Elite 642 iGPS. It runs about $550. Then you would add another 100 - 150 dollars depending on whether it's an '07 or '08 chip. What I would do in your situation is this: I would probably buy an Eagle Fishmark 480, which I think is a great locator for the money ($200). I would then get either a Lowrance iFinder H2O ($169), or an H2Oc ($269), both of which are compatible with the Navionics chips ($99). Then you're set. You could save waypoints, find dropoffs etc. faster, and locate fish. Hope this helps, Jay

Apartment??? You didn't get kicked out of the house did you?? ;D We missed you at the bachelor party. Jay

Hey Will, Nice to see you found this forum. There is a ton of great info on this site. You'll have to stop in the store this spring and tell me how you like your Fuego. Good luck to you this year!! Jay
