    Reel repair question?

    sorry, I dont know about that reel. You are covered by the 1 year equipment warranty. The thing about ball bearings is that if it is a low tolerance bearing the balls may wedge in the bearing and retainer ring. It could have been dropped as ball bearings cannot take much shock force. I...

    Toccoa tailwater, and upper Toccoa is supposed to be really good, I never fished Georgia because I didn't really want to commit to an other permit. But Toccoa is often talked about with the trout fishermen I run into.

    Meanmouth?

    spot x smallie hybreds are possible, not likely, but possible. I swear that I read something about twra introduced cross breeds introduced with black bass. It was dismissed as a failure because none were found through electro fishing. This past summer I believe I caught a smallie x LMB, and...

    Who carries the least amout of tackle?

    I have several tackle boxes arranged in a manner that one can be taken depending on focus of species or tactics. In addition to that is an old shipping box filled with spares and pairs. If I cant easily get to the back or bottom of a tackle box, I reorganize.

    Sauger opinions

    In my opinion a slot of 15-18 inches would be preferable. Creel limit 10. And if everyone demands it they should listen. Including demanding that fish not be netted and shipped out of state.

    Earthen Dam bursts on Clinch

    I've heard of heavy metal damaging rivers. Mostly in fish consumption advisories. I have dismised a lot of it as they just didnt know any better back then. We know better now. And I believe that if there is potential of an accident of this magnitude the potentiol has to be removed. It...

    What lures did you buy this year that were disappointing?

    There is a theme in many posts in this thread. That is, the best lure you can fish with is your confidence. I could not truly blame the bait if the fisherman has yet found the strategy in effectively using the bait. And I will not declare any bait a disappointment untill I have used it in...

    2009 Fishin' Goals

    Creel Limits

    I once was fishing on a pier last winter. A park visitor walks by and we just talk a little. In that conversation I learned that some one limited out 19 days in a row. I just assumed that he wasn't raising a family of 10, and that there was no way he couldn't be violating possesion limits.
