Re: trolling. rod.reel. line suggestions

Tom,
Like Gary and Jim said. Stay with the guidelines in the book.
If you want, send me your address in a Private Message and i will let you have a couple of Penn reels at a very reasonable price. They still work great and will serve you well.

Hey Tail Hook King!

Tail hooking carp is now just not that difficult!

If you want to try something new, then you need to start Lassoing Catfish!

Saw Kenny Hyde do it in Florida!

Perfect loop around catfish tail!

I understand it is the new wave now! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Re: Gas milage in the US....

People in the east have no clue about western driving, miles and distances. All these stupid electric vehicles that are being pushed on us, are a joke. Closest town to me is 16 miles away. Closest City is 78 miles. All desert in between. Uphill and downhill. You can make it to that town, but you can...

"& Fuel is pennies over there as well?!!"

$7.00 a liter is pennies????? In Israel, that is the going rate when I was there. You need to get out more. In Istanbul, it is even higher. Everywhere but the USA it is higher.

Re: Gas milage in the US....

Jim, I found out the same thing a couple years ago while in Israel. Over there they have Ford Rangers getting 60-70 mpg. Also saw a Ford F150 with a small diesel engine that got 67 mpg! That engine is not allowed in the USA! Dems, Repub's all guilty! We got to clean house and soon. All of this will ...

Re: Did You get your boat fitted out Jim Shell?

Jim, I had the same reaction to my Honda 30. The tiller is longer, but nothing like you are saying. Mine might be 6 inches longer than my 20 Honda and 15 Evinrude. You will get used to it after a few hours. I actually like mine better than the older one now. It is just a longer swing is all. Let us ...

Re: Clear Water Reservoir

Bryan, You have to learn how to crawl before you can walk.STUDY the material. Dont just read through it. There is a difference. I like that you are using the camera. It is just another tool. An aide. Especially in this lake! While it will not catch you fish now, down the road it will. so if it is he...

Re: Clear Water Reservoir

John, I believe Bryan lives on this lake. At least i thought that is what he told me. I told him a while back to go elsewhere. Saquaro, Canyon, Bartlett, Apache, and Roosevelt, all have far better color than Plez. Best time to fish it is mid summer after the alge bloom and on a total cloud cover day...

Re: Clear Water Reservoir

Bryan,
What did that fish weigh in your avatar? Looks like the back ground could be Plez, or Powell, or even Havasu?

Re: Arizona Turns 100

Hey, I thought that banana guy from Ill. was the Carp King!???? Looks like he has some competition! I remember Paul Prorocks articles. "I've always felt with the knowledge we have been given that on any given day, with good conditions and good seasonal timing a big catch or a record by any give...

Re: Clear Water Reservoir

Bryan, First of all Welcome to the board. Glad you are here and glad i have another Spoonplugger within driving distance (100 miles)! Happy you made it over. This looks like Pleasent? If so, John used this lakes water color a couple years ago in his presentation at the Winter Seminar. I took many pi...

Re: New meet and greet forum!

Mine is about the same as every ones here. Funny how close our stories are, yet different. I grew up in central Indiana along one of the finest smallmouth streams in the state. Used to catch alot of fish on that "crik". In the early 70's I started fishing a small lake for the first time an...
