00 mod

mine are.....sodas look like velcro straps Jeff

Heres my setup I put in my 1648 jon! One of those on each side lets you take 8 rods, and If you bring RW on a trip he can show you haw to bring something like 30! Jeff

I owned one. Fished with it for a while and bought another. Enough said.

Rods: st croix avid series Reels: shimano Line: yo-zuri hybrid, ,invisix, daiwa samurai braid Hardbaits: red eye Shad, lc pointers, square bills Softbaits: rage tail, brush hogs, ikas, "secret worm" Storage: falcon boxes/fto bags, bps stalker bags

Does more shaft in water, which equals more drag, also equal more resistance to wind blowing you around?

I have a g loomis rod for sale in the classifieds that would suit what you asking for great. I'm asking 125 shipped and that is like buying a $100 rod and paying taxes or shipping. Rod originally cost me $165 and I have only used it for 4 trips. Jeff

Sounds like ya'll had fun! Jeff

6'6 MH/F Avid on the flea market right now for $100!

Exactly what I needed to know! Thanks guys! Jeff

No currrent. Mainly just wind. So I would need to always start with the bow towards the wind to try and make sure the stern didnt swing while trying to fish? If I am going with the wind and the bow is away from the wind, hit the spot lock, and the spot lock will swing boat around and face into the wind? Also once the bow is into the wind and the spot lock is engaged, if the wind blows the stern, will the spot lock straighten it back up, or ???? Sorry for all of the questions, but I have never used one or been on a boat with one, but think it might be the answer to my wind problems being I have a aluminum boat! Jeff

Thanks for the report tn. Looking forward to getting out there soon.

Anyone that has an I-pilot or similar trolling motor, I have a question for you! When you use the "spot lock" feature, does just the bow of the boat stay in the same position when being blown by wind, or does it keep the entire boat in the same position? I guess what I am asking is, does it blow the rear of the boat around and just keep the nose in the same spot or not? Jeff

x10 I've used guides that cost MORE that weren't as good! He works hard all day long to get you the fish you want!

spinnerbaits, traps and top-water from what I hear..... but that's in the years past

Any word on Glen springs???

Anyone have a fishing report? Mississippi is messing up my honey hole for a while and until shad are all gone, can't make it to the pickwick/tn river! Looks like we will try out glen springs if they are biting there! Anyone? Jeff

Making it over to the White is a blast. But I will warn you, be prepared to make several trips a year because it is that addicting! Most of our browns were caught on puff flies but some were caught drifting shad! We caught 16 in all(1.5 days of fishing), plus alot of rainbows getting in our way! Haha!

Correct!!! We have a winner!

went to the White river this weekend with my fiance and had a blast slaying the browns....... I'm a bass fisherman at heart but German Brown Trout have to be the absolute prettiest fish EVER!!! And a Pretty Bow as well.....

Wow! Fantastic! The color is gorgeous! Wonder what she weighed? Jeff

Pretty sure kvd said he changes his to mustad kvd elite Series triple grip size 2. But someone for sure will let you (us) know.

My best retrieve is steady reel with a complete stop and repeat about 4 times each cast. Stop for a complete second when you do. If that doesn't work try all other retrieves. On a side note, make sure to stock up on extra hooks so when you bend one you can replace it and not trash it. Someone will chime in on the size of the hooks for each model....... Jeff

Only took 20 days to sell it........

Nope sold my old boat right before Christmas..... Then bought the new one right after the first of the year! Jeff

Not Daily's! Not even island 40, but it is in Arkansas! Its actually a private club I am a member of just north of Horseshoe! Jeff RW was looking awfully dapper in his ?"orvis"? jacket paired with Shimano hat!!!
