Decided I'm going to take up this hobby for these winters when ice is bad.... Safer than walking on bad ice...

That guy is amazing. A good friend of mine got a chance to ride with him one time and said the videos do no justice for this guy. Here's another one...

I need some advice from someone who may have some experience with a line of rods. I'm a huge St. Croix fan and would like to purchase 2 new rods for this season. One for finesse fishing walleyes and one for casting cranks/swimbaits for pike. I was thinking an eyecon in M weight for finessing and a St. Croix premier in M weight for pike. I have heard that the premier has plenty of backbone and was wondering if anyone has some 1st hand experience fishing the eyecon, avid, premier, tourney series, or any series for pike/eyes. Any feedback would be appreciated. Price is not an issue. I just want 2 quality rods that I can use for years.

While I don't like to tell anyone exactly what to buy for a rod, it depends on line type and bait size. For an average size crank bait Med w/mod - fast action 6'-6" to 8' is good for all around using mono or florocarbin (because there is some line stretch) but if you are going to use braids or any other kind of no stretch types of line you would want a fast or even x-fast action or you end up pulling the hooks out occasionally. Overall a fast action is good for cranks. I use different rods for different bait/line types and sizes. I do use St Croix rods and are my favorite plus they sponsored me years ago and I got most of them through the sponsorship. You cannot go wrong with the brand.

So in general regardless of the model you're going to have to match the rod to the bait and line size/type plus are you looking at casting or spinning rods? I generally use casting on cranks and the swim baits, in four/six different rod sizes, plus it depends on the type of crank also (shallow/deep, square bill and lipless).

Knowing I did not give you an exact answer maybe you can decide on your average conditions, baits, sizes and lines and have a better understanding of what to start with. Over the years I have learned and had better success matching lines, baits, rods and conditions for the occasion but I know most fisherman don't think that way and are in the one size fits all mode.

lingrus · « **Reply #162 on:** Oct 30, 2012, 10:56 PM »

I have put this picture on the other sites. I figured I might as well post it here too. I shot this bull moose on Oct 26th in the Big Horns.

Hunting Season 2012

I would prefer all of my archery shots to be about 3 yards....but when I put 'em right there at 70 yards I guess I can't complain.

Called this bull Right through this open meadow. 6th day hunting elk this season. After the 40 yard shot I lost site of him as I was shooting from inside the trees into the meadow. I quickly walked to where I could see into the meadow and saw him standing there with his legs wide. A few more seconds and he tipped over dead. Ran 15 yards and was dead within 15 seconds. Gotta love the Shuttle T-Locks, Easton Axis Arrows, and Bowtech Combo. Found the arrow in the dirt 20 yards past where he was standing.

Bull I called into 22 yards for a buddy the next day.

Now bring on the duck/goose migration and the ice capped lakes! I'm ready for the cold (I think). Might go try and kill me a wolf too

Trent, It would not surprise me at all to see you holding up a wolf real soon!

wyoboypt · « **Reply #167 on:** Nov 01, 2012, 10:56 PM »

Did you ever get that boat?

POk3s · « **Reply #170 on:** Nov 05, 2012, 12:53 PM »

Nope I suck. Actually the main reason was me and my buddy had the same days off all summer and he owns a boat. We were out at least once a weekend. Sometimes out Saturdays and Sundays. Some day it will happen where I NEED my own.

olefish · « **Reply #171 on:** Nov 10, 2012, 12:50 PM »

Filled my 2 cow tags yesterday, with my new 7mm mag, just before the storm hit. I was very happy with the results both hit once at about 450 yards and down.

Scotty4Fingers · « **Reply #173 on:** Nov 11, 2012, 09:44 AM »

18" 3.5#

I had to have help holding MY stringer.

15" Crappie and 20" Wally

All in all a pretty good fall at KH. I hope the bites continues with the hard water coming.

wyoutdoors · « **Reply #174 on:** Nov 11, 2012, 10:55 AM »

Very nice Scotty

Running a dual season flasher in the boat are you?

Has anyone seen the petition going around, over 30 states have one and some actually have quite a few signatures. Very interesting...

If you've seen that, then this is a MUST READ! Strip signers of the petition of citizenship and deport them!

Well wouldn't that essentially be what people signing the petitions want? haha
