Hopefully that water comes down SOON on Webster. My boat is like 7'8" wide in the back. I don't know if it will fit throught the tunnel with the water being up as high as it is. I heard that all the islands are just about under water...

According to Chae and Bill Brummet (?) Tippy and Barbee are closed. Webster is open.....

Nice job, Trevor! Had a great time!

MY SANITY HAS RETURNED!!!

Mine will be here just in time for banquet!

Hey, all.. I don't know how you all do your taxes, but I used to go to H&R Block. To E-File state and federal cost me $219. Not bashing H&R (in case any of you work there) but this year, I did my taxes myself with Turbo Tax. I went to TurboTax.com and followed all their instructions. I'm a dummy! an...

Hey, Ed. I've got one very similar to that. It's cheaper brother, actually. It's a great reel for zipping smaller bucks through the water, and brings in fish ok too. I brought in my 48.5"er last year on that reel while pulling a Mepps Killer. It's a love\hate relationship with that reel, though, esp...

I could've sworn that when I was shopping for my last reel, that I found an Okuma IDX 400 with an option for a 6.2:1. I haven't been able to find it since. Maybe I was dreaming?? Anyone else hear of one?

You can get by with an all in one bucktail reel/rod by using something like the following w/ a power handle. - Pflueger Trion Round 66 - Okuma Induron 400 - Calcutta 400 If you want a Calcutta 400, look here. Better be quick, though. Stuff moves fast on this site. http://muskie.outdoorsfirst.com/bo...

I also really like a high speed reel for jerkbait and some crankbait retreives because taking up slack with 6:1 is so easy compared to 5:1. A couple of years ago, I was fishing with a 6:1. I LOVED it for cranking in smaller bucktails. It was a low profile baitcaster. Turning double 10's was kind of...

I do have a MH 7' rod that I use when I used to go for pike. (And I caught my first muskie with it) I could throw 1/2 oz. spinnerbaits as hard as I wanted. I've got that one spooled up with 35lb. Maybe I'll put some 65lb on that one and try it.

What lb. test do you all use for smaller baits? I was having difficulty throwing 6" grandmas and single-hook bucktails. I had an Induron 250 with 65lb., then went to a Calcutta 400B with 80lb. The Calcutta actually threw the smaller stuff better. But early last year in the spring, I started with 35l...

Which lake do you live on?

There are a few pics of the outing in the Figure 8 (MMA newsletter).

You missed it last month.
