On a serious note here, I have met a few lake front owners, and have asked if they would mind if I parked my truck in their drive, They had no issues. I even gave a bottle of wine or what ever their drink fancied . Have even offered a feed of my catch. Sometimes just carrying a conversation with a local, is all it takes. I have a place to park my truck if need be. Being polite goes along ways.

I have both. Liven the life. LOL Now if I could just break this cold virus and get back to fishing.

It was a cold morning. Set up on one spot and stayed. A couple of quick fish by 9 or so, then gave my goby bug a try. Ya baby,it worked. Tom S, those hooks are so super sticky. Thanks again

What a novel idea; who would of thought? A little respect and the art to gab can get you a lot farther then salt in the wine. Good for you Brian wish we all could follow along. Take a lesson readers; it really does work 75% of the time.The other 25% well lets just say their day is coming; one way or the other. Dan

That's a good point. Baitcasters are many times more complex than spinning reels which means you have to spend a bit more to get something in the middle of the bell curve. Curado yes, Tatula yes... I have a Tatula type R that I just love and it works in all kinds of senarios (and looks better doing it than the shimano...lol).

seems like the consensus, me included, is original power pro with mono backing I think all this chat might be a waste of time because a cheap baitcaster just won't work well, period IMO you've gotta spend $200 plus for a baitcaster or don't even bother, I'd say look for a Curado, new or used

I agree with Davids comment that their are many choices of Braid to choose from but at the end of the day the difference between them is not night and day. This is even more true when it comes to using braid on a baitcasting reel. Day in day out original Power Pro is a excellent choice. When considering braid for a spinning reel is when I have notice the characteristics of braid to come more into play. This especially true when the choice goes to braids with extra small diameter such as Seaguars Smackdown and the extra casting difference gained . However this extra benefit comes at a price. Great line but its not cheap.

easy to fix a camera like that-----the wife, not so much!!?

MB et al, I've never been up that way for fishing and would like to give it a go as well, space permitting. With this much of a notice, I'll be able to work something into the schedule. Please let me know if it's possible. Stan
