Great report! Reminds me of the same thing, learning how to fish and getting the fishing sickness from chasing smallies on a western trib. I gotta get out there again soon.
Some great fish guys! Love the pic with the giant stringer of walleye. All those fish must have looked crazy swimming next to the boat. What a wild looking place. I gotta go one day. Thanks, great report
Those baits look great! One of my go-to baits are the black Reaper tails too. I'm having trouble finding them lately. Thank god I have a pack and half left. Good luck on catching some giant gators. I'm sure those will get a few.
I 2nd what Sinker said about the Pline flouroclear. It's supple, strong, and abrasion resistant. Use it as a main line. It's flouro coated line. Good luck and catch some big ones
