  1. Hey Hack, there are some great deals to be had on new Evinrudes since this is the last year BRP is making outboards. BRP has to honor all warranties and they are required to continue producing replacement parts. It may be a bit more than a good used motor but you can buy new and get it at pretty darn good price.
  2. I realize that I am coming to the party late on this subject but I have to agree with David Chong on the Alberto knot. I also use the FG knot and it is dependent on the size guides on my rods. For standard guides I use the Alberto knot, however on my rods with micro guides I find the FG knot goes through the guides better without trying to hang up on them. As for the video below I don't use the rings they show in the video to help tighten up the knot. The Alberto is really easy to tie and less time consuming than the Uni to Uni. As for length of leader I go with a 6 foot leader. Since your probably using Ice fishing rods 18 to 24 inches probably is all you need as the amount of light available should keep your braid relatively hard to see by the fish.
  3. Unfortunately this was the only post I could find on Six Mile. I knew it was an old post but I really needed to figure out some areas that I could fish based on others comments. Looking at my Navionic charts for six mile there was little to no information on the lake and the same for the internet searches. I went back to Six Mile 4 days later and was almost shut out. I only caught 3 fish on the next trip but one was a 5LB smallie. So not all was bad. There is really some great fishing to be had there but like any other lake or fishing trip situations change and the bite changes too.
  4. Well either folks just ignored my question about Six MIle or nobody reads this forum anymore. I found fish and plenty of them. I went yesterday and found some nice Largies in the grass. found one Island that had a steep rocky bank on one side and lots of grass on the opposite side. On the steep side I found smallies up to 3lbs schooled up in a wolf pack and caught 4 of them. I also connected on a nice walleye there as well. On the grass side of the island I picked up several largemouth again up to 2lbs. There seemed to be largies everywhere I went. I found a drop off at 15 feet and threw a Tennessee Shad colored Fat Free Shad crankbait and caught 3. This is where my biggest fish of the day which was a little over 4 came from. If your willing to look around and take your time looking at your graph (if you have one) you can find a lot of fish. Though I didn't fish for them I did find a bunch of walleye near another island on an underwater hump. They were laying right on the bottom. I was wishing I had a Lindy rig with leach. I may have to go back and catch a bunch if they're still there as they fry nicely in my skillet. . Bottom line is there are plenty of fish in Six Mile so just go and have fun. By the way all fish caught were released alive. Please practice catch and release so the next angler can enjoy having fun.
  5. Well, here I am getting ready to fish Six Mile in a couple of weeks. Though I understand people not wanting to divulge their Honey Holes it seems like some kind of advice on areas of the lake to fish for different species would be helpful. Personally I prefer catching ol' Micropterus Salmoides more commonly called Mr. Largemouth. Call it my Southern Roots (Louisiana) or what have you. It's been my experience where you catch one you'll also likely catch a pike or two. I'm not asking for someone's Honey Hole information but I would like to narrow down the areas that tend to hold those big mouth bass. I would appreciate any information anyone would care to share. Don't get me wrong if I find the smallmouth bite going on that would be fun too but I really like catching Largies. All my fish are catch and release. Ok, I ied...... if I catch a crappie or walleye (pickerel) they're going into the frying pan! Thanks
