We've been catching Smallies and Walleye for some time now with growth's and sores all over them on the Juniata and Susquahanna. We've been forwarding pictures to the PA F&G for some time now. I pray it is not a killer and something can be done. It is a fantastic fishery. Brian.
Big Bear 6'3" M/F, with a Ian Shields tuned Lew's Team Gold sitting on it spooled with 12lb. McCoy Extra Clear Copoly. I love fishing this setup, accurate, light, completely trouble free, a pure joy. Brian.
3.75" Back Room Bait's Paddletails, color appr. for water clarity. Juniata and Susquahanna Guides order them 500 at a time, they catch fish. Water gets a bit warmer, Spinnerbaits and Squarebills. Brian.
I fished it one time last Fall on a miserable day, cold and monster wind. We caught fish at every place we thought should hold fish. Nothing noteable size wise, but had a super day considering the conditions. I'll have to take a trip down there in the next few weeks. You going along, I have an open seat? Brian.
I've started to use them only Wacky Rigged or Dead Sticked. Both these methods have proven to be completely reliable in the waters I fish. I never use them weighted Texas Rigged anymore as I've found straight Ringed Worms( Grande Bass Rattlesnake, Big Bite Baits Coontail ) to out fish them by a wide Margin. YMMV. Brian.
Clewiston, Belle Glade, we've fished these area's in a Uncle Bucks Pond Prowler. Stay in the canals and at Clewiston you can catch fish as soon as you put in. Lot of Tourneys out of there with released fish. Brian.
T-Rigs, Paddle Tails, Swimbaits etc.. Like a hook with a screw keeper, this one just uses a barb. They work well as they don't tare Senko's up as much. Brian.
To have my Girls or Retiring? The having the Girls part is private, the Retiring part was hard. Worked 22 years in Plant Eng./Maint. on 3rd. shift. Had a friend who had a Home Construction Comp. and when he was busy I'd get off work at 6am. and go work for him, during the summer. Socked away my Max. in IRA's and 401K and did without some things people deem necessary. Invested wisely, was frugal, and purchased things that made money i.e. Rentals and a Tavern. It's tough at times, but you need to focus on the finish line not the next step. So when my Buds who were drinking every weekend, had to have all the latest and greatest are going to work, I'm launching the boat. Brian.
I'm pouring all my craws, ribbed worms, Senkos, paddle tails, finesse worms etc.. I like the ability to change my plastics formulation, soft to hard, and to make color twerks. I feel my baits are as good or better than anything I can buy, in the styles I shoot, because of that reason. Brian.
I'll second robster80 on McCoy Copoly. Nicest line out of any Mono, Copoly, or Flouro I've ever used. Check the reviews on Tackle Warehouse for McCoy Mean Green and Extra Clear Copoly, not a bad one in the bunch. Brian.
