FISHING SEASON 09!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i just need to trim off that rats nest (luckily its only about 10 feet out), and then im back in business
 
Wife made me mad this morning so I left home like 30 minutes earlier then usual, so I stopped at this little pond by my job for a quick 15 and I was able to to bang 2 bass on the popper. One was a decent 15"er and the other one was a 12"er.

That helped me alot, then my co- worker pis•"" me off, wat a life.

I find the biggest problem with birdnests are using lures too light for the reel you have. I bought an ultralight setup and use 1/16th oz weights and no problems. I only use spinning reels. I really dislike the baitcasters.

Yeah I'm on board with you there cause I have a brand new bait caster that I tried to use twice. I think out of both tries I got one cast without a birdnest. I put it up and haven't tried it since. It's just seating in the "bass bus" collecting dust, everytime we take the boat out I look at it and say HELL- no I aight messing with that crap

Outside of maybe flipping, spinning reels- ALL DAY

I could honestly see myself going back to using a closed face reel. My only issue is that when you get a big fish on the line, they can just keep taking out line and youll never get them in the boat. Spinning reels you can stop the fish and play them out, when I hear my friend cranking in all I hear is the winding of his closed face reel. Although, I have yet to figure out the tension on my ultralight spinning reel setup so it doesnt take out line on a heavy load.
 
spincast (closed face) reels are not much different then using a baitcaster the only thin is you got to use your thumb when you cast.
