@ak6388 nice looking rid.

Next to TR worm, my go to is a tube when the hits are slow.

Here’s to a fast recovery Ski.

Groundhog. They kept me and the 17 hmr busy the last 2 years. They love making basements under all the out buildings.

Specs. 2017 Grand Cherokee

That# great.. 😂😂 smart thinking

Chasing the does all over.

I still have one 4 point that still toting his. And he’s still rammy as all heck.

First as previously mentioned way over spooled. I’ve been running several Curado dc’s for several years. I run Suffix 832 30lb. or 40lb. and I’ve only have had a couple of bird nests and they were completely my fault. I adjust just like I would with any of my other reels and there good to go.

Welcome aboard Kisu…

@Riverfisher9 if you ever get up to northern Pa. Send me a msg. If I’m around I’d gladly take you out fishing.

T-Rig Culprit in June bug. If nothing in my floating tackle shop is working I’ll always go back to the tried and true.

What part of the country are you in? As mentioned above I have friends that store their boats in barns that the farmers aren’t using anymore at a very reasonable price. On a side note make sure when you buy the boat to get a good high end cover for it.

Welcome aboard..

Can’t remember who but someone on here has this in his signature. I thought of it as soon as I read this. ” Education is important but Fishing is importanter” 😁

The 200dc is larger in dimensions and weight. 7.9oz. To 8.1oz.

Use a transfer pump and put it into someone’s tank that you don’t like. 😂😂😂😂

Be careful when tying a Palomar knot with fluorocarbon line be careful not to cross the line as it will tend to cut into itself.

Sorry to hear about your dad Donald. I hope his recovery is swift and complete for his sake and yours. 🙏

So true. Seen it happen on a lake in SE Pa.

Look for the best deal you can find on a Shimano or Diawa reel and do as stated above. Set brake at the max and as you practice slowly decrease the tension till you feel comfortable with the distance and absence of birds nest. Remember everyone will at sometime get a bird’s nest no matter how skilled.

☝️☝️☝️☝️ great advice. This is advice that took me some time to learn.

Welcome aboard BucksBasser. Great intro.

My condolences. Thoughts and prayers for you and your friends family.

I believe Paul was referring to Lake trout not trout that you can catch in a lake. I fish for trout in streams, lake, from rainbows, brown and brook with my ultra light gear. But if I’m going to fish in the finger lakes for lake trout that’s a whole different setup. This is a lake trout. Average between 5 & 15lbs.
