Yeah... I bolted at 2:40pm. Fishing was dying down and the drinking was picking up. Not a good combo when you have to travel 60 miles

Nice day guys, great job getting out in less than stellar conditions, and bagging some nice fish, congrats

Nice job today guys. A couple of nice gators Karl, sorry about the one that got away.

Looks like a nice day out guys. I can't fish this weekend because of next weekend. So I am putting new lube in the traps and getting stuff ready.

lost two monsters...one right at the hole ready to grab and slit my 100 lb powerpro braid leader like it was thread....same with the other loss....back to steel

I've seen that lots too even with small snot rockets.........braide d line doesn't make a good pike leader.........go back and get revenge on those big ones with a real leader. 8)

Karl, nice fish. Did you get him on your fallfish?

unoman · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 17, 2009, 04:41 PM »

gotta look at something different...check into kevlar or something....i dont have good luck with steel and when i changed to P.Pro 100# I suddenly have 6-8 pike in two outings...but then again...steel is real...wouldnt have missed those hogs today...

I've been using 100lb flourocarbon this winter. I gave it a good test this summer at a fly-in lodge I guided at for big pike, and I liked it enough to try it this winter. I use the triple fish "muskie" flouro, and make my own leaders, and quickstrikes. Plus with the flouro its supposed to be invisible. So far this winter I've landed 2 38"s, a 39", 40", 42", and a 45", and a few smaller ones, all on the flouro, with only minor abrasion on the leaders. Its stiff stuff and you have to use a uni knot to tie it.

True, but the presentation isn't as good with steel.
