I would like to get out at least one day this weekend if not both. right now I'm thinking of heading up towards D.C. Where is everyone else going?

No idea. I might be taking/sending my reels in for servicing soon.

where are you sending them? I think I may do mine myself. I always wanted to learn about them anyway.

probably no fishing for me this week but I am sending my daiwa pixy to this guy and hes upgrading it to a pixilla. Who do you use Dan ? Local?

You use stx's right? let me know how that works out I might have to do mine aswell.

There are some local guys but I think I might end up sending them to Reel Mechanic and see if he will upgrade some bearings as well. I haven't decided yet.

I think i'm going to drop off my reels at the shop in arlington soon. he did me right the first time so i'll trust him with my reels.

Where is it? I am going to have mine in pretty soon.

I think I might give Jim Funkhouser at Dominion Tackle a try. Wayne P. recommended him to me.

Hmm I didnt know there was a reel repair place in Springfield I gotta give it a try myself

as far as I can tell, it's just some dude who does repairs at his house.

Sometimes thats better than a high volume store

for sure, but I need to find out if I can just drop them off instead of sending them in. The website only says stuff about mailing the reels to him...

Springfield would be a much easier drive...but I have to support Phil! I want his shop to stay alive.

Let me know how the springfield one is though.

I may send them to someone else so that I can get boca bearings installed. I'll let you know how it turns out.

i wish people from richmond and the around this area were as active as you nova guys are on this forum

Spread the word Chris, whenever you see someone fishing down there let them know about BR. There has to be some diehard anglers down there, you guys do have an awesome river down there

good luck dude. I took my Fuego apart once and it was quite intimidating. I would recommend you lay out a towel on your workplace so you don't have any bouncing pieces. Also, keep all the washers and what not facing the same direction when you lay them out, that way you will know which side faces which way when you put them back together.

I do mine on my own, saves a ton of money, but takes some time too.  I would recommend getting Reel Mechs book on how to service reels.  A lot of good diagrams, photos and instructions.  I bought the book a couple years ago, I imagine he still sells it.  Without it I would feel very intimidated going in and taking apart my reels, there are quite a few pieces in there 

You guys keep taking you stuff apart, I'm gonna be out chasing the little green fishie!!

Where this time John? Tomorrow looks like its going to be a good day to be out too

If all goes well and we don't get anymore serious rain, I gotta get back out on the res and see if I can't get a jb bite going. If we do get more rain, I'll probably get back out to Burke. Tomorrow might be a good try @ LB!

hows the bank fishing at bruke, worth it?

LHC, I wish I could tell you it's worth it, but it's not. Bank fishing there is a very tough prospect. I would look at either Huntsman or LB or possibly a spot Dan? or Thai are willing to concede!!
