Funny you say that Wayne. I never got so much work done in a day.Boss was impressed.

So if if aint pinner, then what is it Mike? Maybe Roy is right.It,s a cloths line wheel with line.

Thought maybe you all shut down to add a pinner forum? DEEP BREATH.

real nice fish there Mike. TFS Well there goes that idea.LOL

Roy it,s a way to pass the spring,then it will be turkey time then bass time then deer time then salmon time then icefishing time,then back to spring time.LOL Oh and I always fish by the big white cross on the steeple.So no swirling required Ya red jacket.It.s what I had at the time. Thanks guys. Boy alot of rain over night.Not good.

Guess that gives the old meaning,"The apple dont fall far from the da tree" Bill, the water was still higher then norm,but during the day,it was becoming pea. I was totally shocked(like it was a natural thing), that I remembered to stick the reel when I had a hit. Still talking the ear off of the mrs,s how great today was. Thanks all for you replies.

YA first thing I thought when I did that.OH CRAP .Got sand in it,flushed it out in the river right away.Alls good.Going to take it apart and clean it good.

Today was the day. The day to see what all this hype was about pinning and what a day to start.Clear skies and the sun was shining. Well,the hype is pure, and when they say you,ll be hooked,well, Im hooked with this way of fishing.I knew it was going to be a new way of fishing for me as far as the reel went,the river rust came off pretty fast.The eyes arent like they use to be. Tying tiny swivels and putting on bird shot was alittle harder then in my younger years. Never casting with a float reel,I started out by casting the rod and spinning the reel to get the line to go out.Most casts didnt work at the begining,but through trial and error,I was getting the float out there. Another fellow angler showed up and I watched him for a while and then asked how the heck are you casting that far? He showed me. Ah, I say.The line comes off the side of the reel.Took me about 10 or so trys,then got the hang of it.I was casting to the other side of the river.Very cool I must say. I had my share of snags and reties,sure takes time away from the fishing.LOL Anyhoo,once I had the basics down I was throwing and drifting like I had been doing this for awhile. I hit about 8 spots today before I had my first fish on as a newby pinner.All I got to say about that is, WOW/AWESOME.The rod does most of the work, all I did was just allow the fish to run a bit by lightly pressing on the reel with my index finger.Not a big fish,but sure full of piss and vinugar. Im running 6lb main Maxum with vanish 4 lb tippit. I need to unspool the the reel and put some backing on so my casting will be easier.To mush reel interference.Also like I was told,I have line twist,,,,,,,already.LOL I would like to thank Solopaddler and BillM for all their tips, to get me started. Heres acouple of pics and this vid of my first pin chromer is for you Mike and Bill .The notty in this area is catch and release for bows. Didnt bother me as I dont eat them anyways. These signs need to be posted better.Like whos looking up trees for signs. Fish was caught on a chartruse quarter size roe bag. <embed width="600" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullscreen="true" allowNetworking="all" wmode="transparent" src="http://static.photobucket.com/player.swf" flashvars="file=http%3A%2F%2Fvidmg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv731%2Fmisfish%2F20110402_05.mp4"> And yes JohnF.That was on the rod I bought from you.

It damaged the boat before dying several hours later.

Garry Does it fuse the lines? Can you see it with the human eye? Or can you still see the over lap? This is interesting. Thanks for posting.

Thanks all. Both mom and dad,and nanny and great nanny, are doing well (thay all need sleep). They have been there the whole time. I myself, have had my hands filled with getting a new weld cell robot ready for production . When I got the call at 10:45 that it was time,I was running around looking for parts that were sitting right in front of me.LOL Lilly should be home in a few days.Some concern for her but doc says no worries. I have yet to hold her,but when I do,I may not give her back,,,,,,,,,,,,,until she needs a change. Thanks again.

Yeah,my thoughts exactly. Cripes I drag that one a mile or two, whole. Impressive knife work though.

This little precious angel was brought into the world at 11:05. Her name is Lilly . This is my youngest sons first. Boy, christmas is going to be fun.
