Re: New Lake Day 1 and Day 2

Brett; Great video, Ever since I met you back at the winter seminar, I knew you had the passion to become a very good Spoonplugger. I could tell when you did your presentation and pulled out a clipboard and notepaper it would happen. Bill.

Re: Education

Bink, I can honestly say I have never met Don Dickson, but have learned a lot from his old videos. I believe Steve fished with him several times and said he was a great teacher and great guy. I know one other person who went to his summer clinic in Minaki Ontario and said they learned a ton from him...

Re: Education

I think it is great that Don is back. Anytime one of the great teachers is willing to do a series of youtube videos on spoonplugging it is not a wasted effort. I will watch and learn from every one of his new series of videos. Bill.

Re: Buck Perry "Sanctuary Depths"

After checking the feature from the shallows to the 18 ft. break, with no fish contact, I could either stay on the structure and hope the fish move or check deeper. Even though I have no recognizable features from 18 to 35 ft, I think I would strain the water all the way down. I may find a change of...

The reel I have been using for the last 5 years with many hours of hard use is the Daiwa Accudepth L17. Around 60 dollars and have had no line counter problems. Bill.
