  1. I mostly use a baitcaster anymore when floating. Like Gavin mentioned a short medium rod is nice to have for a variety of reasons but a heavier setup is good too. If I was only choosing one it would probably be a six six in med to med-heavy. It would also depend on what I was planning on using it for.
  2. When I was in college we had a paintball team and we just rented a cylinder from a welding supply company. They would even come and exchange it out for us when needed. It was pretty cheap.
  3. That's the weirdest thing I've ever seen.
  4. This is where I get lost. I'll take the barge down the river and live it up on the weekend. Is it a lot of extra work? Yep. Is it worth it? Depends.
  5. If you have a lot just pulling off it's the rod or line or both. I have fought this particular battle for too long. And I was stubborn to give up on the rod. But after losing a big fish on Fellows and a big Smallmouth in a float I made a change and instantly things got better.
  6. East of the bridge. But there are good fish all over that lake.
  7. Pretty soon you carp guys have to realize that you are trying to answer questions that don't seem to exist. Slow learners I guess.
  8. But you are the only one HERE that seems to feel that way. It's not a "haters will hate" thing. It's a Carp Diarrhea thing that everyone is sick of. If you want to be an ambassador of the sport you would be better off just shutting the F up for awhile. But I don't think you have the intelligence to understand that.
  9. Don't worry our government is not moving forward on ANY new gun legislation. Not as long as the NRA is still cutting them paychecks.
  10. We have a license systems for cars and look at how people drive. It wouldn't change a thing.
  11. The fishing in Fellows is just fine. It's a good lake with some nice fish.
  12. I'm not a real fan either but they work. Especially in the salt.
  13. I use the Adobe Lightroom app but I have Lightroom on my computers and pay a monthly subscription for everything. I don't know if you can just use it stand alone without an account. But there are many good apps available. Adobe, ACDSee, etc.. Find one you like and learn it.
  14. Well this will never end then.
  15. And that's a very nice fish. I'm jealous of that.
  16. You know another thing you can do is a little post processing to correct your shots. Now this isn't the best example since the shot is out of focus but 30 seconds in an editing program can bring out the detail and true colors.
  17. Nope it's just a camera on a phone with a bad flash. In great light they do a good enough job for most people. In low light they just can't make it happen. It's not the fault of the equipment, it's just not made for that. There's a reason that I carry a smartphone and two other cameras when I fish. A decent point and shoot with a good flash and some post processing will get you some good photos.
  18. Not trying to be a smartass here but if you want to take better pictures then buy a decent camera. Cell phones are great and all but they aren't very good cameras. Especially in low light conditions. As long as you use mediocre equipment you will get mediocre results. A camera on a tripod can be carried with you and sat down anywhere. And yes that includes in the water. Now you can have something that will take a decent photo of you actually holding the fish. It's no different than fishing, you just need the right gear and a little practice.
  19. This is true. The company that I work for is privately held. And not all privately held companies are great either but publicly traded companies are not good for anyone except those at the top. When making investors is more important to you that taking care of your employees then you have lost the thing that made your company what it is.
  20. There have always been otters around the lower access. Been probably 5 or 6 years since I've been there but there were otters then too.
  21. Sorry to hear that. I'm no fan of publicly traded companies either. Unless you are at the top that's the worst thing that you can do to your employees.
  22. Never apologize for someone else's ignorance.
  23. Cool video. I recognize some of that water.
  24. Trophy is in the eye of the beholder.
  25. Nope. You are never better off raking leaves.
