for jigging, I say go find the rod and action you want before you decide on the reel. here's a combo many on here will LOL @ me for but it's a great 'toss it in the boat and not worry about it' rod and reel that I tend to use WAY more than I ever thought I would. A shimano voltaeus 7' Med with a shimano sienna 2500. Light (well to me it is) and has landed more walleye then I have lost with it. Just a thought because a good line and jig's are always needed, grub's too and I buy $100 or more in bulk at a time!

looks good Lew

Lew, make a wood frame around it first. Then drill a few small holes in the chunk and the main porch and put nails in to keep it in place rather than use the concrete to fill the holes. Then use a proper outdoor concrete to fill the gap like a layered cake. When it sets take the wood off then seal the whole porch. I DON'T know if this is best but it's where I would start if I had to do it. *edit to fix* I put a line through it after I looked at the pic's again. frame it in build new with a few spikes in the porch to help it hold.

That's even better than the whole post!

Best post in a while! Could have been better, added "here hold my beer and watch this"

I use 3 different types and brands of braid. all depends on what combo and how I'm fishing will depend on what line is on that reel. I use spiderwire stealth, tuf-line duracast and nanofil and I keep a spool of #10 BPS Floro handy for a leader.

that's a weekend thing...

nice report guys

that reply I just don't get to this whole topic Nice score for sure GC! enjoy and when you land your first keeper/eater on one of those lures have them over for a meal.

Why not try scugog? It's not far and there are many places you can get off the water if the weather turns.

it's not too bad here so I may go out shortly but that all depends on what the Mrs has to say about getting ready for my daughters b-day party today.

Very nice fish dude!

I thank you all. I am getting very lucky with this I found out yesterday. A person on the court I know happens to own a windows and doors company and they also do sidding! He's going to have his guys come out in the late fall and do it properly (like pikehunter said with all the proper bends) for me for his cost! By that I mean materials and what he has to pay the crew. So we are going to get a few homes in the area done to cut his costs and ours down; talk about WIN-WIN! All because he heard me on my cell to a guy I work with about sidding while we were having a smoke... COOL! Thanks again all! I still might try that stuff on the porch to add a tint to match the brick.

trolling a worm harnes on most lakes should produce. i prefer to cast though and because of that I get to use so much more and i find i get into more fish casting than trolling

tks boss! I'll give it a read later!

Thanks Cap't. I'm looking forward to it.

nice going TWS

I was going to say the same about the shallows. they would be really shallow this year for sure. I haven't been in a few years to offer anything else though.

It was just painted with primer 2x from the looks of it. Under the windows is where it's starting to look weathered so that's easy to sand and re-do. I thought that the flexrock stuff might make it look rather nice but not sure how long it will last

Hey all. So I need to either cap, cover with siding or try out this flexrock stuff to cover a woodend area on the outside of the house of my son's room. It faces West and after 3 years in the home it's starting to look rough so I though maybe this flexrock stuff would work and give me 5 or 6 more years before I need to do something else. Has anyone ever tried it? Have you tried it on wood? The area is 3 windows wide and about 4' deep x 8' tall so it could cost as much as getting it capped as I haven't priced either out yet. Thanks all and any siding guys want to chime in is fine too. It's the room above the front door of the house on this old pic.

As the topic states, anyone ever fish in New Bern NC before? I'm going next month for a few days for work and I'm considering trying to sneek in a bit of time on the water. Any help is appricated.

Hey Will, bring them to work tomorrow and give them to me. I'll show you how well they store at my place...

BAHAHAHAHA is it a real unit or is it phantom

ok, I need to see this report! any pic's of Bill shooting as you run Mike? HAHA
