Great, I literally bite the bullet and ordered it 30 minutes ago, it’s going to be delivered Saturday

Has the recent Software update changed your mind? I am looking to get live sonar, and I am torn between mega live or livescope plus, I like the thought of sticking with HB.

Marina called and said they had a used ulterra to sell me, older angler who moved to Florida/barely used/only driven on Sunday’s to church/etc. Looked up the model number, MK 1358921 and it had been discontinued. I am trying to figure out why it is was discontinued and whether it was before the reinvention of ipilot in 2017. I don’t have access to the serial number. Any Ulterra owners provide insight? EDIT: CALLED MK BACK AND SPOKE TO A DIFFERENT TECH WHO STATED THAT MK DID AWAY WITH OFFERING US2 PAIRING ON THIS CONFIGURATION

What I like about fishing CWood in April is the absence of recreational boaters/wake boats. If you want to give CWood a try, this would be a good time. I would say about half of the lakefront owners aren’t going to have docks in yet. Milfoil growth is going to be at a minimum. Fishing tournaments are going to be kicking off heavy starting April 24 so there will be some pressure but it’s early in the season and a big enough lake. Looking back through my camera roll pulled in some nice ones April this year.

Sorry this if this is the wrong thread, but discovered this during the serious lake drain down. I googled photos of zebra mussels and the pictures vary greatly. There has been very few reports a zebra mussels in the lake (one) and if this is I want to make sure to alert the department of environmental protection

Second update to note that while I have snapped the tip twice, both times Daiwa fixed it expeditiously no questions asked. That is some commitment to their warranty.

I would walk the shore until you find someone with a boat who will let you on..jk, but I always found shore fishing on Candlewood to be difficult given the weedlines grow so far out AND The prime shore fishing areas, as a matter fact the vast majority of shore areas, are privately owned. That being said, if I had to pick one spot open to the public where I would try fishing on shore on Candlewood I would do it at dike point Park. That’s towards the deeper end of the lake, and near a lot of the smallmouth hotspots. You will have access to a good point of the shore, though it gets steep the further you go so it’s a kind of explore situation. there are good spots in some of the town parks, but generally you have to be a resident of the town. Pre-coronavirus I would say give it a try and if asked to leave you leave, but given the amount of people who been flocking to the town parks this year they were checking IDs and verifying you lived before you’re even able to get in. I had my best fishing season this year on Candlewood, but that was on a fishing barge, or pontoon.

Update to say that I have snapped the tip on them twice. Once my fault, once defect.

I have the ardito and I absolutely love it. Never thought I would get such sensitivity on a travel rod.

@reason Prospect Park in BK has tons of fish, but the Meer is walking distance for me so I get a bit of a workout in walking there and back. I don’t usually lecture, but the dude obviously didn’t know it wasn’t allowed and stopped once I said something. Headed back to to the meer today, hopefully I’ll have another catch to report! EDIT: found this guy guarding a wall. I lost another on the top when he back flipped off my hook. Bluegills were plentiful. I’ve been lucky lately (or using what I’ve learned from bassresource!)

Thanks @PECo

Thanks @Delaware Valley Tackle! I’m actually using candlewood to better learn how to read structure. The hot weather up here has the bass hiding wherever they can find shadows.

The trickworm has been hot for me. Rigged it wacky style, split shot about two feet above. First cast pulled this smallie in. About 4 feet of water.

Wow, didn’t know that. Thanks!

@A-Jay Knowing that I might sound like an idiot, I thought color was a environmental affect and not indicative of largemouth vs smallmouth, but you seem to use them as indicative of species. Am I wrong?
