Congrats, nice fish!
-
I have heard good things about Lund also, good boats for trolling, and I assume you can also work the banks bass fishing like you would with a more conventional bass boat.
-
Has the ice melted in the Hickory Creek/War Eagle arm/White river areas? Report in the paper said it was still frozen over from Hickory creek upstream, but hoping to get a more up to date report, as I would like to get the boat up that way this weekend.
-
I ordered some McSticks and they arrived today, they look just as good as a Megabass in my opinion. If they fish as well, Megabass may have to drop thier prices.
-
Buyfishingstuff is now completely sold out of McSticks.

Seaguar, I'll keep tha in mind, I'm lookng to pick up some fluoro soon.
-
About that fluorocarbon - Something I do is after spooling up a spinning reel with it, is when I first get out on the water, as you are slowly moving the boat, let the line out all the way, then reel it back in keeping tension on it between thumb and fore finger of one hand - same thing you do to eliminate twists in mono. Here's an article with some other tips: http://www.bassresource.com/fishing/fluorocarbon_line.html

Well I might go Saturday, temps are supposed to be in the 40's and cloudy. I believe they will be starting the drawdown soon, you would think that would increase current through the lake and maybe get the fish biting.
-
yep "lock" your reel and just adjust your drag so that line is pulled out if you snag on a rock or hook a decent fish. I have done quite a bit of trolling and have never broken a rod because of getting hung up. If you get hung up and your drag is set right, it will just pull line off until you get the boat stopped.

So Jeb did you go? Yesterday was a little warmer, but not warm enough for me to even think about it.
-
I fish Road Runners on Beaver, but I cast them to the bank rather than troll them. I have found that Spotted bass really like them in the spring, and so do the whites. That's a good idea, tying your own, I have not done that yet but when I get some time I might give it a shot. One color I would like to have that Road Runner does not make as far as I can tell, is black, meaning black jig head with a black body. I would also think natural colors in brown and green, kind of like the colors you see in bass jigs would work.

Do they have lots of fishing stuff? Never been inside an Academy.
-
Low temps in single digits this week, Thursday night supposedly down near zero, Friday, 4 degrees, gotta wonder if there might be a layer of ice forming. Has it ever froze over? I have only lived here three years, but maybe in the past it has. I am ready for spring. Heck, I would be happy with a 45 degree day right now.

Think the Razorbacks can beat East Carolina?
-
Brrrrr, it's cold this morning, as far as fishing, I might watch a fishing show on TV today in between football games. Good luck on the tourney and somebody please post a report after your fingers thaw out.
-
It's nice to see a fishing video with no commercials. Thanks!
-
I hear the walleye are biting, that would be my guess as to what they are fishing for.
-
Nice pics, looks like a great day out on the lake!
-
Nice video I liked seeing what was going on on the fishfinder.
-
Yeah I agree, anything truly hazardous like gasoline shoul dnot have fishing allowed within a reasonable distance.
-
I'm against it on principle, it's a public lake and the marinas have put their docks on public water. And if it's no fishing, it should be no fishing period on the docks, including the dock owner and friends.
-
I wonder too, if someone from the board catches one in a few months maybe they could take a pic and post it here.
-
I noticed that the LM I caught on Beaver Saturday on Beaver were skinny also, which is funny consdiring there were lots of shad around. Maybe they burn lots of calories chasing shad.
-
I second the Road Runners, spots love them in the spring, white bass too. I think I have caught just about everything that swims on them except for carp. They are a great lure if you like to fish light tackle. Only drawback is they get hung up easy, but then again they aren't expensive.

That is an awesome mount, heck of a fish too, 35 lbs. is nothing to sneeze at.
