I"m half way interested but would really like to see some other pictures if at all possible.

any idea what brand hooks they put on them? the wlure hooks are pretty awful so curious what the boys put on theirs when they are done painting them?

What size presidents? 25?

Something I discovered the last trip while drifting is called a "Carolina keeper". They come in clear and red and are a hard rubber that you squeeze open with pliers and then when you get it where you want it it you release and it holds your weight in place. So you just place your weight or swivel on the line then the Carolina Keeper and slide it up however far you want. This means you only have one knot on the whole set up which is tied to your lure and your eliminating the need for 2 more knots with the swivel up above. This also allows you to adjust the leader length as you want in a moments notice. It doesn't crimp or damage the line like a split shot would either. You can retie way way faster as well. I used it both drifting scuds and small jerkbaits. Anyhow a tip I wanted to pass along.

i don't know that it has a weight on it. it's a bigger reel. Just figured someone would jump on a $15 reel for a spare or to get someone started?

$15 tyd?

If school is out the lake and resorts will be packed. For room wise and fishing wise it probably needs to a be a winter type deal or early spring.

That will buy you a few yummy Busch Light's too my friend

I know one thing there is more boat traffic and pressure than I've seen in my 35+ years of fishing that lake. The other thing is the poor things have no clue with the water, gates opened for months, then zero water then zero water to 4 units etc. They probably have no idea what to think these days

I use 6 pound on spinning rods and 8 pound on casting rods. I use Pline CXX. I prefer to throw them with 2 units running or more usually but i'll throw it anytime. Late and early in the day (low light) are by far the best times to throw them in my opinion. Back in the 90's when very few of us were throwing them I thought the fishing was substantially better on them than it is now with them. Seems like now about every 3rd boat you see is throwing them, especially on the bank. I will say this though, the fish you catch on them now are way way better than they were in the 90's. The fish are as healthy as I've ever seen in that lake in 35+years of fishing it. One other observation is back in the 90's we almost never caught a rainbow on a jerkbait, it was almost unheard of but now the Rainbows really slam them. Sounds like you had an awesome day! The one you broke off there is a chance you had it in the back too, I caught several a couple of weeks ago in the back because they were just swiping at it to kill it and man when you hook them all heck broke lose for a few seconds. Congrats on a great day and your first Brownie, it's a beautiful fish!!

So here is the deal I have 2 Navionics Micro Chips that came out of a used boat. I have no idea what year they or what model they are are but I do know that they are both for the South region. These came out of Lowrance units. If you willing to take a chance you could get an amazing deal. I"m 100% sure they are south chips and they work.$25 each tyd or $40 tyd for both!

sold.

I have an older LSS1 box and transducers for both the front and back and the front one includes the protector. Seen alot of use but works great still! $100 TYD for all of it.

I have a Hummingbird Helix 7 that has sonar and gps. Bonus in that it comes with a Ram Mount! It has a power cord but needs a transducer. Back side has some coloration but it's in perfect working order not scratches or dings on the glass etc. $225 TYD

I heard a boat capsized at the dam yesterday morning. Anyone else hear about it?
