  1. Thanks for the report Chris. That’s a good looking bunch of fish.
  2. Great bunch of fish and a good time. Thanks for posting.
  3. Thanks for the report Quill. I have my Neds packed (plus everything in the boat)ready to head down mid month.
  4. Nice fish. I can’t wait for couple weeks to drag by so I can get back down.
  5. I'm becoming that old guy to Phil. I have no desire to fly 70 mph spot to spot and fish 5 minutes each spot. My grandfather took me fishing a lot. We would pull up on a spot and he would look at his watch. "30 minutes or we are moving he would say" No fish 30 minutes later we moved and did it all over again. I fish for enjoyment and relaxation. Don't get me wrong, I want to catch em. Thanks for the report.
  6. Nice fish Quill. Glad to see the action improving. Thanks for the report.
  7. An update. Sent both rods to St Croix 4/14. Received 2 new rods back today. 10 day turn around and it only cost me $35 (15 there 20 back) for shipping. That’s great customer service.
  8. Thanks for the replies. I do plan on sending them back to St Croix. I do like their rods. This is the first real trouble I have had.
  9. Hi All. I'm pretty much a spinning rod fellow. I have been using St. Croix for the most part. Last trip down I had one delaminate and one break. What are your recommendations for a good medium or medium lite spinning rod. Thanks Toby
  10. Caught some today KC to Indian Point. Swim bait and jerker did the trick. Little chilly but fun.
  11. Thanks for the report Bill. Those are some darn nice fish.
  12. Sorry you had a tough day RPS. I feel a bit better knowing I’m not alone. Better luck next time.
  13. Thanks Abkeenan. Had him using a Kietech on a quarter ounce head. They are headed home tomorrow. Missed a couple days with all the rain. Grandpa may have to try your suggestions. Caught mine today on white and chartreuse spinnerbait in 2-6 fow. Small jaws are just smacking the tar out of it.
  14. Got out with the grandson today. Good thing we brought his iPad cause fishing was a little slow for us. Here’s the best one. She was really fat.
  15. Kansas has to be better than Illinois. We have a couple decent lakes. All down state. It is the most corrupted and fisically irresponsible state in the nation next to maybe California. To bad I can’t move my business somewhere else.
  16. Thanks for the report Matt. Nice bunch of fishies.
  17. Wow! Nice ones. I’m not fishing in the right spot.
  18. Thanks for info Gurzik. I caught 1 on a wart this afternoon KC area.
  19. He has a you tube report most weeks. New one yesterday. Very informative.
  20. Nice fish Macsimus. Thanks for the report. Even if she did let you sell her vehicle, then she would need your tow vehicle when you want it.
  21. Looks like fun and good eatin.
  22. Gitnby, Wise to include pictures of whole dock and slip area for the buyers to see. Price you have listed for is reasonable.
  23. I sold mine on Craigslist Springfield last year.
  24. He get some of his supplies from Mudhole. It’s the 3rd rod he’s built. 2nd he built for his grandfather who is a corvette fancier.
  25. My son Aaron built me a new fishin pole for Christmas/Birthday. 7’6” glass rod for cranking. Coming down the 21st. Gonna test her out with some Wart and Crawler action.
