After 8 seasons, I will be regrettably departing with my current rig. I've had no problems at all, just selling as many of you know I just "upgraded". I hate to see her go. If I had the room,I'd keep her as a back up! If a Spoonplugger wats her, I'll give you a good deal. Jim http://cgi.eb...

Ok.... IF I had to fish this lake, I would not have to worry about bringing water to drink, I would just make sure I had a cup with me. It's 600 acres, and the "fishing" water is about 1/3 that size, so 200 acres to check out.I would spend my time looking for deeper features (20' to 40') a...

I actually fished this lake about 20 years ago... When I 1st saw the map, my reaction was "what a good looking lake". When I got their I found very CLEAR water as John mentioned. Then most of the breaklines broke way too shallow. Back then I was still learning alot, and didn't spend alot o...

We missed the rain and high winds that were forecasted. We had a light chop on the water and mostly sunny skies. It took us a couple of hours before w...
