  1. The park itself may have time limits. Lots of places dont strongly enforce time limits and there is an element of risk if you decide to go outside of those hours. I fish all the time on ponds with no markings at all and have never been bothered. I would have all required license and fees paid so if someone decides to question you, everything else is squared away. I would also have all other gear to include required lighting for the size of your vessel and then try it. If there is going to be a problem it will become apparent in a hurry and i dont think you will be penalized for one offence if your in the wrong. If you are stopped and told your wrong i would follow their direction and not return as now you should know better.
  2. Put a price dont say reasonable. What doe that even mean?
  3. I am addicted to daiwa but this is one reel that I wanted to try. I might still get one but will wait until the kinks are worked out. For some reason I love the sound of DC whine and my fishing partner has one that I just enjoy Listening to.
  4. This is a common sense and safety discussion. A yak is like a bicycle. They are smaller but still have all the same rights and considerations. There are rude people on the road and on the water. In the end I dont want to be dead so I plan to limit my exposure to risk. If I get in a bad situation I try to smartly exit that situation. Been in a small pond with a wake boat and just had to leave because he owned a house there and truthfully was his water. I did flag him down and ask he give me a chance to leave. He took 20 and I was gone.
  5. My biggest came on a #3 maps spinner and my second came on a rapala shadrap in walleye.
  6. Red/white and yellow/red are the most common pike spoons. They seem to love perch and sysco as main forage.
  7. I disliked the line as well. Had a lot of stretch in 4/6/8 lb
  8. Batteries plus has a bunch of glass mat sealed batteries 12 that will fix you right up. Know that each type of battery handles discharge differently and have different charge profiles for maximum longevity.
  9. Got one 110 never caught anything and 2 90s that smash fish regularly. No need for a 75.
  10. The 80 size is just like the popmax. Never ordered the bigger 128 as I use my mattlures meat head or baby 316 wake for larger topwaters. In your area pike pickeral and musky will smoke a bait that big.
  11. No. They are very different. It's a great for general purpose. A lot of people use CX interchangeably with YHB.
  12. I like xfast rods for single hook applications when using flourocarbon or copolly. I fish setups that are tuned as a system. I never like an xfast with braid.
  13. Read threw way to much of this. The solution is oh to simple. Tackle warehouse let's you try reels and then return them. Select a few and try them out. First one works out your done. Dont like it try another. Coat you a few dollars in shipping but saves you a pile. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/demoprogram.html
  14. Love me some 20 on a spinning rod for everything but dropshot. Very versatile imo.
  15. Most of what your talking about in baits can be easily and cheaply fished on an ugly stick. The are everywhere and cheap. Their only drawback is weight, but the toughest rod around. Cranking is one of the least expensive rods you will need. DS is the opposite.
  16. Are you using a spinning rod and want the braid to cut threw the veggies. If so it may work. If using a heavier setup with larger hooks 3/0 I would say no as you can easily pop 10 lb on a hookset.
  17. The other side of the coin is the very best fish what they designed and the company makes to their specs. Kvd has his own series that de designed and put his name on. When off the shelf is custom made from the factory just for you.
  18. So if your willing to pay the price for the length and not compromise on quality megabass has several to choose from. I have and enjoy the wp and my fishing partner really likes his srd both 7'6".
  19. Tubes flukes and worms. Easy cheap and the same hooks. If it was me I would get robo worms and a pack of dropshot hooks. The 6" strait tail can be drop shot, split shot, wacky rigged, shakey headed and just about any thing else you can imagine.
  20. They just say the are testing and developing the next generation. There rods may have an extra inch or two a new taper or maybe rings with sic instead of aluminum oxide. My point is if discovered the already have the answer waiting.
  21. 4 or 5 would depend a lot on the jig itself but I would avoid 3 powers on all jigs. Tried mine on some 1/8 sierbert ball head finesse and even that was to much.
  22. Never seen a reel that recommends braid but the new ones may. If spinning the 20 is my favorite size, on a small bait caster like alphas 30 is good and 40 on a full size bait caster and up. Doing any harm is unlikely but possible I have only damaged one spinning reel that had braid on it and it was on a bait that was a single hook that I gave more heat than I should have on the set. Braid is strong but light braid does not take shocks well. I still have casted off lures with 20 on an alphas but nothing 30 and up. I use a lot of 8 Carrier but the 20 cast off was a 6 carrier braid. Dont know factually how different carriers effect shock performance but very curious.
  23. It may change the action a little and add some flash. They come off easy in 5 seconds if you want it off.
  24. If you are looking for a dobyns rods for jigs please consider a 4 power rod. Three powers are just not enough and the to dx rods i have are not good for jigs. Wish i had got the 744 vise the 743.
  25. I would run a tough fluoro like shooter or abrax for everything but topwater and except any bite offs as the cost of doing business. I would not run one of a kind or special lures on this trip that i would be sad were lost. I caught a lot of pike on 65 braid and a topwater frog but never when i was trying to target them.
