    Idiots

    The only problem is that you are not allowed to just go stick your kayak or canoe in anywhere are you’ll be getting a good fine. When I put in I leave the car there for safety reasons like I don’t want a idiot in a big boat coming down on me. If I could I would just stick the yak in anywhere and...

    Pitching or Flipping

    Don I’ve watched vids where they explain it and will forget as soon as I’m done watching. When I’m on the waters like I said it’s just casting out. As my cast will consist of all sorts of cast including pitching and flipping all depends on the spots. I’ll do a lot of flipping when trout...

    Pitching or Flipping

    I honestly still don’t know what both are. I call it casting and whatever it takes to get the bait or lure in the right spot. ;)

    New for me hopper pattern

    I know what your talking about HD those little sand paper teeth they have can destroy some of my softer plastics.

    Braid, There I said it!

    If your tying straight to a hook I would use something bite proof. A harder lure you might get away with it.

    I do about 2 feet to a yard so sounds right. Enough to wind in a cast easily.

    Braid, There I said it!

    Just had a Muskie cut off 80lb braid like it was nothing. With its teeth. Didn’t even think it would happen with 80lb but it did. Braid is very easy to slice so I would agree with don that fluoro and mono are better for rocky areas but mono not so much for toothy. Heavy fluoro is used for...

    Braid, There I said it!

    If I make then. I make them a little smaller than the rod size cause I just run a barrel swivel and that doesn’t go threw the guides. Plus easier to toss out.

    Seemed to be my thing also floats the 2 or 3 casts then down it goes.

    If it doesn’t go through good make them shorter.

    [Archived] What did you Catch Today?

    Still learning. The only thing my bro does is watch me get them then he steals my stuff (like my flies and fly rod) and catches them lol. But sometimes he can impress me with some of his techniques.

    Sorry to hear about the wife. If you want something closer check out the fish comm. looks like a lot of waters out your way hold pickerel. That 9lb one would have been a record. https://www.fishandboat.com/Fish/PennsylvaniaFishes/Pages/ChainPickerel.aspx...

    Don’t be fooled they say there sharp right out of the package and acid or whatever but for any toothy fish should be sharpened right away. I did that my first couple times thought they were sharp and lost fish now when I sharpen them a couple times my hookup is way better.

    I think a good action lure will get them.

    Northern Pike

    I found it can really slow down in the summer and I’m mean all fishing. They can hide in the sun but I think they go to colder waters. Best time to start fishing for a lot of things in the summer is when the sun starts to set. When it gets hot I go for fish that can handle it better.

    Braid, There I said it!

    It’s a creek. That has a dam on it. That’s the fast current goes to say about 20 feet. The Muskie hide in the rocks so I’ll fish to about 10 feet down to 3 feet of waters. That’s just below the dam. Now the creek there’s holes they lay in. River fishing is harder but the Allegheny river has...
