Still waiting on my Sixgill Lykan ML, they are taking forever. I bid and won a Quantum Energy S3 15 series off of ebay to pair with it. I want to have a few combos in the rod holder ready to go. I miss fishing honestly, makes me want to move some where warmer.
I did good this year and cleared lots of older gear I didn't use. With a squinty eye pointed my way lol, I have been filling the void with clearance gear. Here I won a pair of Accurist S3 reels for $65 shipped.
I'll be honest, I bought this reel when it was released for $99. I bought a few at...
Dicks Sporting Goods had some clearance deals. I got the 13 Kalon O Blackout 2.0 reel for $29 and the rod for $15. Normally $160 for the pair. I also scored a Lews ML $80 rod for $17. I had a St Croix Bass X rod for $48 but they ran out of stock. Good thing I sold a lot of older gear lol

I went out Friday to Shohola. It was a 2 Pickerel grind for my efforts. They were both cold and dark. I'm ready for a break then next year it's time to put a better effort in.
Did a little fishing in the rain today.
Solid day despite the conditions. Crappie were biting. I have panfish dialed with an underspin jig head and 2" paddle tail. Steady bite until I quit.
The main launch. The road is awful, the launch is so-so and once you back in there is a giant dip that forces you to creep in. We saw a guy have his 14fter slide off his trailer because of it and hit his 9.9 a few weeks back. Awesome lake though, loaded with Panfish. Supposedly there's walleye...
There was a tourney at Prompton Saturday. Parking lot was full. Not sure how they faired?
I destroyed the panfish with an underspin paddle tail. Hit the weed edge, count to 4, slow retrieve, catch, release, repeat.
