Susky River Rat

that’s pretty neat. I always wondered where the fish came from. I am not sure why they stopped doing this where. It was around 2012 they were doing it.

Our cabelas here used to partner with Muskies inc and raise musky for a year in their one tank. Then they would get taken out and stocked.

I have a BPS and cabelas each about 30 miles from me. I cost both. Mostly just to look around maybe snag up some stupid stuff that I have the urge to get. It’s a time waster for me most times but, I do enjoy looking and seeing sometimes before I purchase.

I think for certain species it is a must. I grew up using it for bass. I wouldn’t do it now for bass but, catfish I have. That is a once or twice a year trip for something different. i have out fished my dad while he used minnows and I used a husky jerk before. Sometimes the reaction strike is better then a feeding window. I think rarely this is the case though. If you think about it a drop shop is nothing more then trying to make a piece of plastic looking like a minnow suspended in water. Hence why that can be as boring bobber watching.

I am hanging in 4th somehow haha

I fixed this for you! Its cool that some of you guys live close and get to see these guys and fish those waters

I like to slowly wobble my jigs along bottom after a long pause I will give it to big hops up back to back. I’d noticed that those two big hops on the second fall tends to get the bite.

I’ve never posted a fish pic

Mine have been made right away

10lb braid for most things 17-20 for T rigged stuff. I just switched up to 8lb fluorocarbon for drop shot. I do not know how I will like it though.

Awesome job!

This was kind of my thought. A bushing is more for wear, shock absorption and taking of space where a bearing is to make something spin freely. Which is what you would want. I also figured the metal of the bearing would give you more feel as it’s two hard contacts.

Has anyone done this to their reels? Do you feel a significant different? Or is it just a gimmick? I am thinking about putting them on my ultegras.

I do not drink coffee. I never liked the taste of it black. Adding flavorings and sugar to it seems to me to defeat really liking coffee itself. It’s like needing to put fruit in your beer. If you need to do that to drink it you aren’t drinking the right beer. I do like them but try not to drink them every day. I try to keep it at 2-3 a week.

I use braid to leader for just about everything. It’s what I feel most comfortable using. I do not like the disconnection with other line types.

On the river I will stay at a spot awhile. then when it dies out for me I will move to a different area and let the one I was at “reset”. I’ll head back to it and most times pull a few more off that area.

Watch out decking it. It may become very tippy when all the weight is above the gunwales.

I’ll be sure to keep my life jacket on while doing it then. That way when I fall in cause I’m asleep I’ll be ok.

Not so much a bait but I really want to get proficient at drop shotting

I use sniper but I really hate us using anything except braid.

10-17 braid with a fluorocarbon leader.

I have 2 150s and they are silky smooth great casting reels

Well domestic shipping has sucked and I’ve experienced the same. Also had the package goes back and forth to different hubs about 2 miles from my house. just ordered a JDM reel shipped Tuesday here today. It blows my mind.

I never take mine off unless I want to change them.

My dog LOVES the boat. I enjoy being out when there is no one on the water. Sadly most places I go are plagued with people or power plants. When I get into a rhythm start catching fish, it’s like the whole world goes away. Everything goes on auto pilot.
