Coundn't resist the BPS sale for uhd2 106 and lvs34... Might sell the graph from it though. 1600 in savings to start extra 210 from 10% then 10% rakuten for another 190. $2100-210-190= essentially $1700 for LVS 34 AND a UHD 2 106.

As said earlier the heavy rating on your rod can mean A LOT of different things. Some great suggestions above for starter packs. I throw the magdraft the most. Have caught the most fish on Bucca's wake or S-waver (modified). LOVE working the DRT tiny klash but I get tired! I think you can pick a bait based on your main lake as you can go down a rabbit hole quick.... expensive baits, extra rod, bigger real all to just potentially go back to the ned rig

Water temp in upper 40's to low 50's and the surface temperature is FINALLY getting consistently warm we even have a day going to be 85! What do you do with a hot day with a sudden jump like that where fish should be starting to move and get into full pre-spawn conditions.

Don't waste your money on the plano edge box. I hate it. Hooks get stuck in the plastic dividers some fit- some don't Difficult to fit 3 rows of a 110 sized bait Some hooks don't fit in the dividers

They have a +2 but that's still too deep for that with that water clarity. Sounds like a DT20-22 should do the job If suspended at 20ft. I'd be using a blade bait/ RES/ Colorado spinner/old school countdown rapala

I can flip/pitch with either hand for the correct presentation as I suck at boat control.... But casting I have to switch as it feels very awkward.

The weather could be cooperating to get out early up near Chicagoland!

Not too bad of a deal on Owner hooks with the discount. Grabbed some hover shots too figured I'd try something new.

I love the Yakhobby one designed for the GT54. Super tight on the kayak so its super protected and still get perfect side imaging.

Has anyone else experienced catching way more different species while fishing with max scent products? I just started using them this summer and have had more small fish nibbles/turtles/catfish/bullhead/crappie than ever. I was wondering if that is pretty much the situation or if it is just me on my lake. It is just frustrating losing more baits to non-targeted species. TIA

Not working for me... I wonder if its because the Yamatuniki's are on sale

what site?

Use a reel with lower gear ratio with those. I switched to a revo winch one year and it helped tremendously.

Definitely have had some sketchy moments in years past from how dangerous that lake gets. Thanks!

We ended up winning our sectional at Busse Woods in a row boat! Looking to see if anyone has been down to Carlyle Lake recently? Always a grind as a "northerner" going downstate on that lake. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
