    Cold front

    Thank you. You saved me a 100 mile trip.
  2. You will get less interference on your sonar if you power it from the starting battery instead of the trolling motor battery.
  3. You might want to pm Fish24/7, that’s his area.
  4. I’ve always heard that you can’t beat Lake Erie.
  5. Where’s that life jacket? Wear it.
  6. That’s not surprising considering lead shot bans in places and lead weight restrictions in states in the Northeast.
  7. Bring them on. Maybe they will produce a bunch of double digit fish.
  8. I’ve seen similar stuff. Three trips to the Big Sac arm=7 bass. Three trips to Cape Fair =118 bass. I have no plans to go north for a while.
  9. My neighbor and I went this morning. It was tougher than last time. Places that gave up a dozen only produced 1-6. We only fished shaky. We wound up with 33. None were keepers. They were from 2-20’ deep. The water was 87-89°.
  10. When there is wind, I have caught a lot of whites around the island.
  11. Oneshot I think your heart is in the right place but your knowledge has a ways to go. You might want to look up “the scribes and Pharisees sit in the seat of Moses” and figure out if or not they were Kinnites instead of Jews.
  12. There is a vast difference between the lost tribes of Israel ( ten tribes taken by the Assyrians) and the tribe of Judah to which you were referring when you used the word Jewish.
  13. I haven’t been back to know. However, with the lack of rain and the distance from the dam I can’t imagine there being any current unless you get above McCord bend which I don’t do. As for clarity I hope it is still dingy like James is supposed to be.
  14. I just read Matthew 15. I have no idea where you came up with dogs and such.
  15. I don’t know anything about those McCloud trout. I never even heard the name until I read it on this site. All I know is when we fished it we used crayfish from the creek, peeled tails on 10# test mono if we wanted mid sized ones, full sized live ones on 20# test with a 3/0 hook for the good ones that lived in the root wads. We hadn’t even heard of a fly rod.
  16. I’ve lived around Crane Creek since the 60s. I seen it low but never as bad as described. The water always seems icy cold to me. I don’t know about the headwaters up by Mrs. Leak’s house because I seldom went there. Our farm on the creek was several miles down stream. It is a couple of miles below the confluence of Crane and Spring Creeks.
  17. This is after all a private site owned by Phill Lilly. He alone has the authority to decide what forums are permitted here.
  18. Doesn’t your electricity come from LOZ?
  19. After SCOTUS EPA ruling, why would for profit power plants want to spend money to go green?
  20. So is this the apocalypse? Is armageddon around the corner?
  21. I haven’t gone above Carr’s yet. It was nasty around there. Even from Martin Hollow down the boat was covered with a layer of brown mud. I am trying to muster up enough energy to go back but they are calling for 100° days. That’s hard on old fat guys.
  22. I doubt that the bearings are ruined. I have a couple of dozen Shimano reels some of which are over 20 years old and still have original bearings. There are lots of reel grease brands on the market. Ardent is the only one that I have had that turned and hardened. Just don’t get a spray grease many contain acetone which could be bad on synthetic gears. I’d not use it on the anti reverse either.
  23. Reel butter will also turn black with time and harden.
  24. That was what I used until it no longer contained naptha, which is a good solvent.
  25. That piece you are pointing to is the anti reverse. I is supposed to be clean and dry. I’m not sure how you are going to fix that, maybe with Qtips and alcohol. I would never take it apart. I did that once. Once was enough. When I do bearings, I soak them in acetone, dry them out well, then put no more than 1/2 of 1 drop of Shimano oil on each one. I’m guessing what you are now feeling is your anti reverse binding because of the oil. Where are you located?
