Thanks for all of the replies. I'm looking at the 12' for sure. I never put that much thought into getting two but I guess the pivoting is the big issue eh?

To all that own a talon, where did you all buy them and how has your experience with them been? I'm currently shopping around for 1 and want to consult my fellow OFNers to see options and opinions.

Thank you

Thank you all for the updates. What is the best launch in Mitchell for someone coming from the orangeville area?

Any updated info on the ice and water level on dalrymple? I would like to get out there this weekend but don't want to drive over 1 hour and not be able to get out.

Thanks, I figured it would be the last weekend in April at best.

I've taken a look but can't really make out how the lake is. Thanks for the link though. Has anyone actually seen dalrymple recently?

Anyone know how dalrymple is looking? I love getting out there for early season pike so I'm curious as to how long until we have open water.

The Yum F2 money craw in crawdad has been a workhorse for me. Although they don't look all that special they have great movement when falling.

I think it's fantastic seeing all these different bass anglers and how different everyone's answers are. I guess it's all about comfort/confidence. Thanks to everyone that has posted so far. I look forward to reading more.

My wife not only knows about all of my rods but encourages me to get fishing stuff. There are a lot worse things in the world a guy could be spending time/money on.

Okay, the topic says it all. For you bass guys out there. If you were only able to have 6 rod setups on the boat what would you use? I'm currently in the process of putting together my 6th bass setup. When it is done this will be my 6. 1) bait caster, 7'mh, (crank baits) 2) bait caster, 7'6 h, (flipping stick) 3) spinning, 7'm, (worm) 4) spinning, 7'mh, (jerk bait) 5) spinning, 7m (drop shot) 6) bait cater,?? (Spinnerbaits)

You all think a two year olds can pick up on a spinning reel? I would love to get my two year old out fishing at the local pond but wasn't sure how she would make out casting.

thank you for the responses. Never did get the chance to get out on the weekend. Did anyone get out on Dalrymple?

Does anyone know the condition of lake Dalrymple? I'd like to go wash some lures this weekend but don't want to waste my time driving there to find ice blocking me. Thanks in advance.
