Susky River Rat

@flatcreek hope and dreams is all I got

@casts_by_fly I’ve only had pickerel eat musky lures never on bass stuff lol

If you aren’t scopin you’re hopin

@gimruis they can’t be that bad

I have never caught a pike. Snakeheads and pike are on my bucket list. Honestly, I will probably never get into a pike. Ironically two of the most hated fish.

@Bruce424 I’m either going to be at blue marsh or the susky

@WRBits made a mockery of musky fishing

I weld for a living. Lead is the least of my worries.

I fish wind like I fish current in the river. I plan where I go around wind. When it gets cold I like to stay out of it though.

@TnRiver46 I don’t follow pro fishing die hard. I don’t make time to watch it nor do I any other pro sports. If it’s on and I’m not doing anything yeah I’ll watch it. I just won’t center my day around it. The pro ranks are generally so far removed from what the normal person does it’s insane. At the local level with 1200 impoundments and smaller FFS is making a big difference in how the fish act. I don’t fish to put money in my pocket.i don’t fish to eat. I’ve never decided oh im going to watch people fish. Fishing is boring to watch. A heck of a lot of fun to do. So I really don’t get the FFS makes watching fishing boring aspect.

If you think about it pre FFS this is what the ned rig was achieving with the light jig head small rubber. If you kept it moving and never let it touch down it would hover and flutter off the bottom. Now you didn’t know you were target specific fish but the idea is very much the same.

@TnRiver46 I had thought jets were outlawed before that and then that’s when it became tunnel hulls as well. I could be wrong too. Somewhere between what we are talking s out is the actual truth and it really doesn’t matter lol. It’s just the irony of what’s deemed an unfair advantage or isn’t. @ak6388I think it comes down to they are only casting at fish they see so some of the excitement of the catch is gone because they see it happening. Personally I think watching live fishing is boring. You will have lulls in the catching no different than any of us going out on our own. a made for TV fishing show is much better or a tournament that has been edited to show mostly the catches.

@TnRiver46 I thought it was a custom built prop tunnel hull? Plus he just used it for that event I think not all year.

@casts_by_fly see above lol

I say they allow jet boats with tunnels. Let the shallow guys do their thing and the scopers do theirs.

The smallies are eatin on the susky get out there!

I have been hearing more and more pros say they have to fish this way and do not really like it. Morals go out the window when it’s time to cash a check. It’s here to stay unless the competition bodies or the DNR stop it. @TnRiver46 I agree with your comment.

Same here within a couple cents at least

Looks like an interesting rig for sure. I hope it serves you well

@JediAmoeba 22” screens is the new thing for scoping.

You should be alright. Muriatic acid would have ate a hole right through it. We used that to get aluminum build up off of carbide tooling for our CNCs.

I set the hook on everything that feels different. I use a hard hook set on everything right or wrong. Sometimes it’s a pile of leafs sometimes it’s a bass. That’s the beauty of fishing in my opinion you never know what that hookset could bring. A smile, a cuss word or ten, disappointment or a surprise.

I set the hook like they owe me money. When I lose a fish I check the hook. Terrible approach.

Getting ready for his only paws account
