I thought I was the only one with the line getting caught on the bail problem. Poor design IMO. I switched to the Pfleuger President. Nice reel for the price.

Is there a usable dock at that launch? I might come down by myself this week and I don’t want to wade thru water to get to my boat.

It is a consistent issue.

I have a problem with anything shallower than about 8 feet. The transducer is mounted on my bow mount motor.

I fished the Wilcox area today for pike. The weeds are starting to get green. Water temps were 57 degrees. I caught quite a few small pike with the biggest about 6 lbs. I definatly caught smaller pike than in past years. All of my pike where caught on a husky jerk on the pause.

I like launching out of Roshen Park on the south end of Lake City. I launched there last week and the dock was out. They also have a fish cleaning house.

Does anyone know how the Wabasha ramps are? Are the docks in and is the water below the parking lot yet? I was thinkig of trying some pike fishing tomorrow.
