Leader must be the answer. Controlling drag was one lesson I learnt as a young fella.

lol, leader isnt the answer. But it can make things easier if your not experienced in fighting fish. 15-20 lb braid you should have zero reason to lose a fish.but an 80lb leader should allow you to remove cement blocks from the depths below haha

 

Kinsey also apparently did not distinguish between behaviour and preference, the figure he came up with as lifelong was 4% and I understand there was also an issue with the population of his study. It has been years and I forget the details but especially in that time if you look at areas like San Francisco and the cities with gay bath house districts you would see higher percentages. Those bath house districts are the same ones that HIV was eventually traced back to and from there its eventual spread.

was there monkeys and chemists in those " bathhouses" lol. Like HIV just Appeared outta nowhere

Glad to know,IM NOT THE ONLY NEWBIE at this stuff.

 

What ever happen to plug and play? LOL

lol very true. I've always used fishfinders in the boat but never used them optimally. I always used then for structure and speed for trolling. Now im mad lol. Ive missed out on alot

Yeah i seen that. Didnt need the flasher though. Had a hell of a time finding the ping speed lol, just a dummy. Once i found it i was like d'oh! Hahha its right there

Good points bill ans limey. Also i see alot of less experienced anlgers lift fish near the boat, ot too much pressure. These two things result in breaks almost every time. When i fish gators im using a cheap set up too but it does the job. 6"7 or 6"9 shimano rod from walmart lol, and 15-20 braid, either suffix 832 or powerpro. I dont use leaders for pike fishing at all, its not needed IMO

I woulda had 3 less fish for sure if i didnt have this unit. When i missed bites i could see exactly what was going on under the ice, and was able to entice bites within seconds. So fun watching what was going on. I had a deadstick going for abit, then all the fish moved. I put on a lipless crank and could watch numerous fish come back to examine then hit. So cool

 

What has changed? A realization that love , heck even lust, between the same sex is not despicable or sinful. It harms nobody, it simply threatens an anachronistic view of the world embedded in a particular socio/economic/political discourse of western society.

couldnt be put any better

Turn off the auto crap and adjust manually. This is an awesome lil contraption:)

And yeah we were drilling on some heavy current. 11" of real good ice though. Nobody dared to venture bear the rapids, we stayed 100 yards or so away

YEAH BABY..Rainy River SUSHI !

lol ate that fish raw hahaha

Awesome Rick, hows the current there on the ice? i can see you are sitting in that part that is an eddy with slack waterbut i seem to remember the current rips through the rapids there. That is where you are right?

there is current, pretty heavy actually, but of to my right is where i caught that bigger walleye, that was right in the eddie. Ice is great though, no slush came up at all, and the water was insanely clear so no fluctuations in water levels

. .

Yum!! Dinner?

yessir pike boil!

Touched up! What an awesome day. Loving my elite 4x. . Caught about 12 in all. Some big eyes and pike. Action was good enough that we missed some pics just being too busy. Great first day on hardwater

Well it was a great day! Awesome. Be out again tomorrow for sure;)

Gotta few more small ones. This elite unit is awesome!!!

This just in....

This just in...

One walleye and a few misses so far. The elite took a while to set up but shes working great now!

Misfish, mines getting used for the first time today. Lets hope the unit is as good as everyone here says lol

Went out last week to 8", lots of snow and slush. Not safe enough near the current to bring out the kids. Shoveled te snow off and had good cold days since:) ventured down this am after coffee, drilled my way out with my new shark and made it 30-40 ft out with 11". So out we go to play with some fishies and new toys:) my new auger is amazing, love it. Got it on the cheap too$175 used once. Now im anxious to try my brand new 4x elite:) weather is nice, bout -13 should br diwn there all day! Letshope the fish cooperate but will be fun regardless.

Why is it always the hardcore religious folks that always use a thread like this to preach to the rest of us? Seriously, enjoy your life, I'll enjoy mine keep your religious Bull to yourself.

donate a few bucks and shut your mouth bill. Or your going you know where! Try live releasing walleye in those temps!!!!

You got something against Jo-Ho's ????

i do but it has nothing to do with faith. Oh wait its menonites in out area. Just about killed my kids and the individual lied right to my face about it. Seriously??? Anyhow im not hating mennonites, just the individuals involved. Id like to stick a duck call you know where, and make a call with compressed air. EDIT my apologies, These are my written expressed opinion and not those of A&E. have a blessed day!

Im also tired of people calling the guy a geniuous and well educated man. He made a duck call 30 yrs ago, that is all. Once his duck call cures cancer or ends the Palestinian Israeli dispute is when I'll call him a genious.

hes a business man not a organic chemist or a politician lol

Just you watch simon, jack will be the envy of all his friends. Knowledgable way beyond his years, and a cooler dad to boot haha
