Rustic-Fisher

Center pins are up on the shelf for this fall season , My 20 yr old Diawa Whisker AND this tank of a reel my father-in-law found in his basement are up first . A vivid memory of mine from 30 years ago was watching an older gentleman absolutely smash rainbows on the Ganny with a Mitchell 300 and kwikfish . Anyone ever use one ?

That area will be shut down shortly , amount of garbage laying around is ridiculous . No parking signs are in the works , from what i've heard .

Hey Lew, No That is the prop the boat came with .

Lund Rebel 1650 with a 2017 90 etec , stainless prop , seems to max out anywhere from 37 to 40 at max rpm with various weight scenarios .

My Opinion ... This is great news ! we're 10 min N of the town , so were kind of local. Every year since we've lived here (4yrs) i 've taken my now 10 year old down to fish for Salmon . THIS year it was insane !!! crazier than other years . Great chance to teach a new angler about ethics ...........

Bought these 2 weeks ago , not needed anymore . No drilling needed . 150$ firm

Love it ! Cant wait to see the mods !

Best thing you could do is Book a day with a smaller charter/guide. It'll take years off the learning curve . Buddy of mine started 5 years ago , invested in a few trips with a Legit guide and so far this year he's cashed a few cheques in the Silver Salmon series .

Did a quick backcountry camp with the family , great times and fishing . Started with utilizing a launch point a little sketchy with low water levels , first time the lifted truck was useful lol. No pics as the stress levels were high on this particular launch . With the Boat loaded , two kids (10and 7) two dogs wife and myself we began the crawl to camp through the rock invested prop killing lake . Again no pics , to much going on . Landed at a site we’ve visited for years and within an 30 min my son was walking the islands steep shoreline casting 3” tubes for smallies and connecting ! Once camp was set up I joined him casting a larger 4” smoke color tube hoping to get in on the action ..... picked up the odd one but kid destroyed me , downsizing was key. Fishing was great , we pounded all the rocky shoals and weed edges , classic ambush points . Seems smaller tubes in natural colors and reaction strikes with jerk/twitch baits in a perch pattern were the ticket . Both The Smallies and walleye (evening bite) we were crushing them . I didn’t have a chance to take fish pics , I apologize. No giants but steady 1-3 lb fish . Also found a beauty sandy beach area , on a small island SCORE ! Cool note !!My kids were wading the rocky area of the island looking for minnows and crayfish and my son found what looks to be a legit carved arrow head, you can only imagine their imaginations running wild over at the camp fire that night over this discovery. Great trip , family loved it, everyone is gassed Including both dogs , and trust me ...it’s an extreme challenge to tire out a Belgian Malinois working dog lol.

We we're a little deeper in . But yep same general area .

Thanks !! tried heading in last week and was meet by road closure signs on the East side of Pine Springs. We've been washed out there before , not fun and thank god active logging was going on or my jeep may still be back there.

Just wondering if anyone could tell me if the road has reopened . Thanks for any info R

All week my son has been amped about a fun 30 spot (boat) bass tourney , on fri came home after a nightshift to find a pile of lumber stacked on the lawn that he had been practicing his jig flipping on lol. Today the Kid grinded it out in the heat , we got a five fish bag for weigh in ,culled one . The boy had his heart broke when he lost an honest 4lber ... amazing life lesson lol. We both loved every sec of the day and look forward to a doing a few more .

2017 etec , not sure about the pitch though .

An Honest 38mph... fully loaded 2ppl . I believe I could of pushed out 40mph but I baby her LOL. Spit fire prop upgrade , and the hole shot is great !!

1650 Lund Rebel , great size for myself and son , Love the ETEC s RIP ... lol

It's this that is concerning , AND why were being asked to stay home. Asymptomatic carriers , you could easily be one . Be Careful !

I’ve got a 2017 90hp on my 1650 Rebel Love it so far ! Hole shot is great and can also attest to Amazing fuel consumption . Also love the self winterizing feature . Only 25hrs on it but no complaints . Buddies also run them with very few issues .

Oh man , what is happening up there LOL!

We’ve had a ton of them out here (Northumberland) pulled two off my body last week checking deer stands and blinds Tick tools are worth their weight in gold . Antibiotics right away , no messing around with Lyme disease. Last year though .... I was unfortunate enough to get one right on my ............ Yup , picture the “stand by me “ movie scene but switch the leech to a tick . Not good lol, the jokes were priceless though . Would not wish that on my worst enemy ! Check yourselfs fellas !

Tell me you smoked that fish using the SS whisker lol!!!

I have a few reels i won't part with ... My Stradics , my 9 year old pounds them and the keep going !(10 years now) and my favourite is my good ole Diawa whisker lol, may be a nostalgia thing though lol. I also own pflueger presidents , decent reel and when i worked at BPS back in the day we sold a TON!

Awesome stuff Brian !!!

Thanks guys , Garage kept , and for now just washed with a mild marine soap, purchased at the local marina. cheers , Ry
