I'll look into the mount! Funny story, kinda. Took out my yak for the first time this season. Another guy in a hard yak was in the middle of the lake .. dude capsizes and he was all kinds of panic'd. I haul butt over there .. get him to the shore. Go back and get his kayak and tow it to the docks. W...

I like my inflatable .. anyone else have one?? Still haven't figured out how to put a fish finder on it .. I have one with a suction cup transducer thing. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7389/13518708463_1864b64bc3.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7389/13518708463_1864b64bc3.jpg Edit: trying to get...

Hi everyone. Soo .. I want to put some rods/reels on the walls but in a neat/decorative/bachelor pad fashion. Was wondering if you could share your ideas/pics .. cuz in this crowd, there are probably some great displays out there. Thanks If there is already a thread, please post here. Didn't find on...

I have both as well .. The Steez is on a custom glx .. for plastics .. I use the 50th Zillion on my compile-x steez rod .. for jigs!! Can't go wrong with either one. I love both reels .. but the steez is on another level, overall. There is the weight difference factor as well .. If you can go to the...

Well, I actually lost my foxy (sexy) shad color and the water was semi muddy so I went with ..

The "Citruse" FatFree shad according to this chart.

Post what you used and how you slayed em .. here. .. Bomber Citrus Shad (Medium Diver) on my favorite lake. Not much happened before noon but caught 6 from noon to 3. Used my TDZ and the 7 ft Shiryu which added to the experience .. I love summer crankin'. Caught 4 on a high ridge, mid lake which com...

I like the Loomis 783 and 843 .. but you probably would do fine with most of the suggestions here. Those new Phenix rods look awesome .. not sure if they've been released yet though. I think there was a sneak peak on the front page from one of those tackle shows. Zombie rods are also intriguing. Bot...

I'm a casual fisherman but love the fishing experience .. so I've slowly created a great little arsenal of higher end combos .. over a period of time .. and they cover most fishing techniques very nicely. I mean, I love my rods and reels .. Saving up and hitting a good deal here on the forum(when th...

Caught a Gator Slounch off the bed on Friday .. stopped by for 30 minutes of fishing. Saw one bed, cast and she got spooked. Saw another bed, stayed back and cast to it about 15 times with a lizard until she got pissed. Didn't realize she was so big .. she had my Beneyro 2 piece all bent up, pulling...

Ponds are turning ON in NC .. I like taking my kids and they use the "bass catcher" .. 3 inch senkos. They've caught a bunch last 2 trips right before sunset. My oldest daughter lost a rather large one in shallow water last night. She was horsing it in and the line broke(+I need to change out her li...

Abu Garcia Fantasista 64ML with a Pixy .. Love it! .. A Lot!

If the weather channel is right, this weekend might be pretty good (I am going to try it again tomorrow). What part of NC do you call home? I live in Davidson County about 10 minutes from High Rock. I'm in Concord even. Took a bud out, kind of a newbie. He started with a jitterbug in the morning, g...

NC has definitely been windy. That northern air needs to go home!!

Goin fishin on Wednesday which is forecasted for clouds, air temps in the 50s .. planning on jigs, lizards/plastics and flat sided cranks. Maybe even a drop shot. I don't think the water has warmed much yet. We'll see ..

Fish em slow if the water is still cold. Like real slow.

Just trying to build some content back up .. this is always a good topic. I use all kinds of jigs really. I like finesse jigs, football and the slightly pointy kind with a flat head(not sure what that one is) Brands .. I like the BPS Finesse, good little jig. Buckeye Mop and Strike Kings(mostly cuz ...
