mikeseb Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Hey Yall, Its been a long time since Ive posted a report so I thought Id post one on how my 2012 winter steelheading season has gone so far. Its been a great few weeks with lots of hook ups and a few real nice fish landed including my new PB!

BillM Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 How do I do that? lol sorry im not that good with computers When you're logged into your Photobucket account and put your mouse over one of the pics a little box will pop up. You want to click the IMG Code heading above the last box.. This will copy the code for you, then all you have to do is paste it into your thread.

Interesting choice if reels. Is that an old school Shimano FX2000 rear drag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeseb Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Interesting choice if reels. Is that an old school Shimano FX2000 rear drag? Close! haha its an old shimano R4000 with the bottom drag. Sadly her time may be up though, the other day when fighting a fish it was making some pretty weird grinding noises from the crank and it has quite a bit of play to it. Ill really miss that reel, tons of great memories. If anyone has any advice on repairs please let me know as I really enjoy using this reel and dont wanna see it "retire". I think the bearing are gone in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad W. Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) I may be missing something, but Bronte is closed until "Opener" rolls around. Those pictures make it easy to recognize the locations, and posing with out-of-season fish isn't the best thing to do on a public forum. My apologies if I am wrong on which body of water you are fishing, or timing. Just trying to prevent you from being fined, and losing all your new equipment. Edited February 8, 2012 by Brad W.

mikeseb Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hey Brad, I would never do something as stupid as fishing an out of season body of water nor would I be even dumber to post a report about it. lol Those fish are from a river that is open ALL year round for fishing. I am sure there are a few guys on the forum that can back me up and correctly identify the location by the background of the pictures but there is no need to publicly give away where exactly Im fishing if its 100% legal. Although I wish bronte was open I wouldn't mind saving an extra couple bucks on gas lol but o well learning new body's of water and how they differ from others is one of the things I really enjoy about fishing.

Brad W. Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Thanks for clarifying, Mike. You can understand how closely it resembles the other, closed body of water. Nice pictures. Edited February 8, 2012 by Brad W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurraylien Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) as far as your reel goes i would opt for a top drag rather than bottom.much smoother.i recently bought a pflueger president 6730 for 70 dollars very smooth reeling and a nice drag many have said best reel for under a hundred dollars.you will notice a huge difference from the rear drag system when fighting larger fish.if you really want that one fixed just take it to a shimano dealer they should be able to get you parts Edited February 9, 2012 by hurraylien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
