pauly Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Nice bow!  I’ve been fishing from shore at night and getting them on glow corkies. Had a salmon join me in the shallows swimming behind some rocks. Creepy zombie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jwl1 Posted December 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 Oh I still love it!!!!...although it seemed a whole lot easier in 06.. than 2020 🙄....either that or the paths...and rocks got a whole lot bigger and longer because it takes a little longer than it used to do getting to the water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveC Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 Hey Jack, lets meet up and fish a weekday? Ive only got time on my hands now..lol. Im looking to get a decent bottom bouncing rod/reel? Any reccomendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwl1 Posted December 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 Just have to feel out the work thing for weekday off....to be honest...I've never been one to spend alot on a rod and reel...you dont need a couple hundred dollar set up...lol....I have always used a 8 or 9 footer medium action rod for the sensitivity of the tip for subtle bites and a feel for the bottom....ceramic bigger guides help with ice buildup on those super cold days....and a decent long cast reel with a smooth drag for the fight in the current on lighter line...a jerky drag will cause too many break offs...and you never know when you are going to hook a fish in the teens throughout the winter...brand has never been important to me... I bet you the set up I been using the last few years only cost me about 50 or 60 bucks all in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
