RangerDanger Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 OK fished lake Lenexa yesterday at 4 pm to about 8. Water was clear with about a 10 mph wind.I focused on shallows by grass and caught my pb largemouth (my pb sucks) on a lipless crank and then another on a swim bait. Decent day of fishing nothing special I'll take it for august I fished Lenexa two weeks ago and caught 14 in 2 hours, all 12" fish. There are some big fish in Lenexa, last year I'd catch atleast one 5 everytime I stayed well after dark. The small fish far outnumber the big fish though. I haven't fished it much this year, I just don't get the kayak out much since I got my new boat. Quote
RangerDanger Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Yeah, Olathe if anyone is still coming send me the specifics and I'll try and get a second to commit. Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted August 26, 2014 Global Moderator Posted August 26, 2014 Perfect - thank you. Driving from KC to Topeka tonight, so Cabelas it is! Cabela's is probably the worst out of all of them but sometimes you can find good stuff in the bargain cave. Roger's in Liberty would get my pick if I had to choose one. BPS in Independence is pretty good too. Academy has great prices but their selection is limited. 1 Quote

JDJ Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Where would be my best best to find St. Croix casting rods - Avids to be specific? Quote
joefish Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Where would be my best best to find St. Croix casting rods - Avids to be specific? I got mine at Cabela's Quote
conorsixtakc Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Where would be my best best to find St. Croix casting rods - Avids to be specific? Interesting fact about Cabela's, they're the only place you can get split grip St. Croix Premiers. My favorite rod for the money. Quote
RangerDanger Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Stopped in at Mondo at lunch. Awesome place. They have the stuff you need/want and no gimmicks. He even sold me something that isn't available until September 4th. Quote

Skeeter9948 Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 OK guys....need advice. Bent the prop shaft on my Minn Kota Maxxum. It's a slight bend but causing a vibration. Do you guys have any suggestions on who I should take it to for repairs....or if this is something I can do myself? Quote

Do you guys have any suggestions on who I should take it to for repairs....or if this is something I can do myself? I'd take the prop off, slide rubber hose over the threads, and try to take the bend out. Quote
sizzlefry Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Well i say that because I tried their once and didn't even get a bite (I was fishing in the middle of the day) it is a tough lake im hoping the bite turns on at our turny since its in the evening Quote
