TRYTOFISH

targa185 sport. you cant fall out of it, have to jump out. great for fishing 3-4 people (adults). no luxury liner but solid and safe.

is there a rule of thumb on sink rate? 1' per sec? 3' per sec? 1/2 oz? 1 oz?

hula grub

Big minnows, Big crappie

I use both.If your throwing all day long, its nice to be able to change hands.

Buy the president, sve 50 bucks to buy more worms!

stx is far above the sx. sx is a good reel, but the stx is far better. i have 8 of them.

I too have several old lures. I use them to replace when i need to. I decided to save them and give them to my grandson when its time. I would like to see him put them to use. Maybe it will give him a hint of how hard fishig was for us oldtimers.

i have an 185 targa sport 2006. i made the mistake of thinking it would be good for both family and fishing. not a good idea. have converted it for fishing. fantastic boat. not afraid to take it in big water or sticks. have removed the port side lockers for more rod storage. cut out tubes in rod locker, opened it up for double the storage. ugly boat but love it. only downfall is wind blows it around quite a bit.

them too!

strippers, ar.

spooling some 50# mono, found that knots are real hard to get tight cause of line diaeter, wondering if putting a drop of super glue on the knot would be ok or will the glue just melt the line and weaken it?

strippers!

just to make slide thru the guidessmoother.ive heard of people using glue.

whats the best thing to use to smooth out the knot? superglue?

of all my reels, the stx has the strongest drag. never tested it with a scale, but i do get into a lot of snags.(mostly tree bass!)

water temps are key to crappie. crappie spawn from 52-58 degree water temps. (consistent). will move shallower as temps rise and generally stage around brush or thick cover, cedar trees are there favorite around here. after spawn will go back to deeper channels around cover

ok, sounds logical. whats the best knot for braid to flouro? how long a leader would you suggest?

what is the reason for using a leader? i guess i should ask, what advantages are there for using a leader of different line/size?

going to both mar 20, any tips?

never fished specifically for small mouth. would like toget. will be going to beaver lake,ar inacouple of weeks striper fishing. would like to take an extra day or two to fish for small mouth. any suggestions?
