I have had one for a couple years and I really enjoy using the reel. I think its a good quality reel for the price.

I fished there a couple months ago, it is a peaceful small lake to go to. Water clarity was decent 1-2 ft, lake has some good depth and structure for a lake of its size. There are numerous rock piles, and some brush scattered throughout the lake. Here is a little info, if you haven't already researched. http://mdc.mo.gov/fish/prospects/lakes.htm#bilby http://mdc.mo.gov/areas/nwest/fish/bilby.htm http://mdc.mo.gov/documents/areas/nwest/fish/bilby.pdf

I've been checked several years ago, just a boat check to make sure everything was good. Our warden's do a great job around here, but the state is understaffed and there are limited funds. When they do write a ticket the money from the fines go to the school system and not the game and parks. :-?

I sent my Compre back a couple years ago, and about a week later I had a new rod. No questions asked. Lifetime Warranty is great.

Quantum Accurist reel, didn't last a full season of use.

I can tell you that there are a few submerged rock piles on the sw end of the d**n, I think 2 or 3 of them. I went out there when it was empty. Other than that I haven't fished the lake since they've done the rehab. You might try posting on here http://www.nefga.org/forum/index.php, some people might pm you with some info. Good Luck

You'll love having it, the ease of pulling out the extension cord and plug it in. I've had mine about a year that I bought from Cabela's, you won't know what to do without one.

Favorite is a buzzbait or frog, most productive is probably crankbait, spinnerbait.

Yeah sorry I was going the wrong way :-[

I don't live in Omaha but I live about 50 miles west of it. You should check out these sites for some info on Omaha lakes. http://www.ngpc.state.ne.us/fishing/fishing.asp http://www.nefga.org/forum/index.php

I Live in Lincoln, they recently renovated Wildwood several years ago. You probably won't find any fish of good size there yet. But it should be a great lake when the fish grow a bit. If anyone ever needs a fishing partner shoot me a PM.

Heres a few I have, some of me some of my fishing bud:

That sounds like a great deal, especially if they are the older models with the triple grip hooks. I'd definately take advantage of that. I have really good success with the 100,200 series.

The 3M marine adhesives are very good, I used them on my boat restoration this past year, it was either the 4200 or 5200. They have 2 different types of adhesive, a fast cure and slow cure. Buy the fast cure, because the slow cure takes about a week to fully cure. If your wanting a cheap fix you could probably do the repair that you described.

A spinning rod But no really what brand of rod should he get?

2 liter bottle of mountain dew .99 cents, almost blowing your hand off with a dry ice bomb, priceless. Oh and the reaction on his face was priceless too.

A pair of these ;D

Looks like it has been a great Christmas for everybody so far 8-)

Well here's what I bought myself for Christmas this year, for $129.99 each how could I pass up that kind of deal? Don't tell my wife that I got two of them she only knows about the one.

I'm going to work on my jig fishing and probably using a carolina rig more.

We'll the santa bait monkey visited me tonight. I figured since shimano has they're $50.00 rebate going, I should get myself a christmas gift. I ordered a curado 100d. Its too bad I'll have to drool on it for the next 3-4 months. My wife will complain but I had 2 reels that finally wore out last year so I really did need it.

Old Rat-L-Trap containers are pretty close to that size.

Use an engraver
