  1. Definitely using 50lb braid. I've heard a lot about ***..never felt one though. I have been using st croix for years but just was seeing what other options I have
  2. Looking for a multi purpose 7' MH casting rod for general purpose. Mainly to be used with Texas rigs, jigs, light frogging and the occasional spinnerbait/big topwater. Trying to keep it under $100.. Thanks
  3. I have numerous lakes and ponds around my area that are 3-6' deep and the whole lake is covered with milfoil. The milfoil comes 6-12" from the surface. I am not talking about the edges of the lakes and ponds I am talking about fishing the open water where the milfoil comes up almost to the surface..How would you fish this? I've fished weighted Texas rigged worms on heavy gear and weightless senkos with ok success..I've also caught fish on frogs when scum was present on the surface of the water. Thanks
  4. What are some classic lures and colors you guys used back int he day? (60s-80s) jitterbugs rapalas and purple worms seemed to always be the lurea of choice. What type of hooks did guys use in their plastic worms before ewg's?
  5. This is A "big" pond for LI and has never had a kill before. Most ponds around here are 15-20 acres How did fish kill even come up in this topic lol
  6. I have been to the lake this spring and have not seen any signs of a fish kill
  7. LI basser is correct. It's in LI and fish do in fact survive the winter. This winter was the worst I've ever seen on LI. We had solid on ice on ponds from December until mid march. My guess is over 12" of ice because I have friends who have ice fished similar size and depth lakes on LI this winter and reported upwards of 18-24" of ice
  8. Ice out, water is still in the 30's. where would you start and what would you throw?
  9. Kevin22 a #7 floater rapala weighs 1/8oz
  10. How do these compare to the mediums? Particularly the premier series looking to pick up a 6'6" spinning rod for 1/8oz jigs with plastics,small rapalas #8 husky jerk and #7 floater. and 1/8oz spinners. I have a 6'6" medium premier but it is quite stiff for the 1/8oz jig heads and grubs
  11. What's your favorite punch and flip bait fishing on heavy mats and thick milfoil under the surface?
  12. On the bottom
  13. Looking to fish nightcrawlers for big browns in a 30 acre kettle hole fishing anywhere from20-40'. What is the rig to use for this?
  14. Hey guys so I am in need of a little bit of trout advice, i am an avid bass and river/stream trout angler but heres my problem i have never targeted trout in lakes. I have two lakes both 25-30 acres that have maximum depths of 35-40'. both lakes were formed by glaciers and are round in shape almost like a bowl. browns and bows are stocked each fall and spring in these ponds and i know for a fact these fish holdover (a friend of mine once did a dive on one of these lakes and said the browns were huge and looked like torpedosi am unsure of the forage at both these lakes the one lake just has trout, panfish and pickerel (no bass) how would you target these lakes for trout? I have read up a little bit and saw some guys vertically jig them but have never done that before PS none of these trout thy are all stocked fish that hold over
  15. i use em and catch fish, though i prefer the berkley power worm more
