Omg. Thanks so much for the information, what a swell bunch. Just looked at the rods and baitcaster is med heavy and spinner is a ugly stick med fast. With my old mitchel reel. I have a 12 ft zodiac and a 55lb thrust. I purchased a fish finder. I purchased some plastic baits and spinner baits. The guy at bass pro put a 20 lb braid line on the spinner and a 20 lb mono on the baitcaster. Species in the lake I’ve been told are bass, splake,pike, trout and a few others now to try to catch a fish. Again thanks so much for all the info. Now to look at a few of the posted videos.
