Fully agree with 00 mod, I use a Dobyns DX745 paired with a Chronarch 200E7 spooled with 20lb Abrazx flouro. My hookset is exactly as 00 mod describes and it works very well for me.

My thoughts are if fishing a bait which the rod is used to impart action, fastest ratio possible especially if there is heavy cover/weeds around. Others a 6.x:1, except for deep cranks which I drop to a 5.x:1.

In any relationship each person needs their own time, even in a marriage it is a union of two individuals losing the individuality is a bad thing.

Probably just needs a good cleaning, Mike at DVT can take care of that extremely well.

Power Pro braid but only 2 setups, most are seaquar flouro invizx for spinning or abrazx for bc

So glad my wife doesn't care what I buy whether fishing gear or photography equipment. Between the two probably around 6k so far this year. We keep money separate so we don't have the little issues over money. Also helps that she spends WAY more than me for her horses. Life is to short to worry about money. Cover you bills, save some for a rainy day otherwise enjoy life.

Talk to Mike at DVT about a custom, he just finished one for me to go with my Stradic CI4. It looks outstanding, and I got a chance to finally use it last weekend. I cannot express how good it fishes, Mike does outstanding work.

Here is a pic of my Ecoboost, this was the day I bought it. Since then I have added a hard bed cover, the bed is sprayed, K&N air intake and a Borla Type 2 Exhaust. At the next oil change I will be added a tuner for some more fun. Would do more but the dealer is a little irritating when it comes to aftermarket parts. And you are right Glenn the power is amazing, having 420ft-lbs of torgue at 2400 rpm is outstanding. No other 1500 size truck has the low end torque power of this engine, and does it without sacrificing fuel mileage.

Awesome, love my 2013 F150 Ecoboost Welcome to BR

Yes, wire tie them you won't have this issue.

Finally got out this weekend for two days on the hot side of lake Anna. Fishing was good both days for numbers, big fish was only 3.5 pounds. Only issue was it was nasty cold both days and raining half of Friday. New custom rod from DVT was great, got most fish on it and the big fish.

The part you will be on is not the hot side. There is a nuclear power plant on Anna. The portion referred to as the hot side is the discharge for the water used to cool the plant.

Finally got some time on the water, went down for a couple days to the hot side of Lake Anna. Fishing was good, caught a bunch of fish but biggest was only 3.5 pounds. Just wish air temp would have been higher, about froze each day. Needed to get out before my first tourney in two weeks. Not sure what BH looks like now, figured the heavy rains clouded it up. Look for the cleanest water you can find there, especially if you can find a line between dirty and clean water. They will do their best to get out of the dirty, crappy water. First rule of fishing dirty water, try to find clean water. if not available fish shallow.

some days it does not matter at all. but I have had days were watermelon got bit when green pumpkin didn't. Or watermelon red flake did and watermelon purple did not. Same baits, same confidence level. And there will be days when you are getting a lot of short strikes, one of the best things to do is adjust color a little. Goes from short strikes to solid strikes.

Well one suicide and a mass murder.

One question, what are you considering "light" lures?

No idea on water temp, haven't heard anyone fishing there yet except Ken.

the trailer may be an 88, doesn't mean the boat is

I found my club thru BR and have several other members joined from here.

And Virginia has some nice distilleries for local moonshine and rye whiskey

All his post show is another person to be ignored, nothing more and nothing less.

The issue will be line slapping against the blank so distance and accuracy would be affected. No additional damage should occur as long as the blank was not comprised

Last I heard from park management the boat ramp should be open the upcoming weekend.

Nice to hear the otters are still there, here is the website for BH referencing the otters and minks also. http://www.montgomeryparks.org/wildmontgomery/best_natural_areas/bna_black.hill.rp.shtm

Have multiple savvy series rods, not dead at all. Must be the user....
