Here’s a couple of Flatheads that we caught back in August.

If that was Saturday night, I was out there and heard you cussing. Lol.

My girlfriend and I would like to come down and fish with you guys if your still going to fish. We have never caught catfish thru the ice, it sounds like fun.

Thank you.

Here’s some bass fishing accident pictures. So it is very dependent on the situation. General purpose for me is 40lb suffix 832 with a 80lb fluorocarbon leader on a medium heavy casting rig. That covers me 90 percent of the time. I cast for Smallmouth Bass, Pike and deal with the occasional Muskie, fishing rocks, rapids, downed trees and heavy weeds. We boated a 41 inch Muskie earlier in the season and a couple of smaller Muskies during the year. I also use this setup for channel cats even though it’s overkill, but it wouldn’t be a good setup for most bait fishing situations. My general purpose rod is a medium spinning rod spooled with 10lb to 12lb Spider Wire. I use this for vertical jigging for Walleye, Smallmouth Bass and Panfish. I cast this rig with smaller lures for Smallmouth Bass, Crappie, WhiteBass, etc. If I still fished the southern Wisconsin lakes for Largemouth Bass, general purpose would be 8lb to 12lb Braid and I would fish most everything with that. If I bait fished The Mississippi I would probably spool up 6lb to 8lb braid for most situations. 90 percent of the time I cast artificials and my opinion is that Suffix 832 cost twice as much as Spiderwire, but it last 3 to 4 times as long for the fishing that I do, making it cheaper. For bait fishing my opinion is that Spiderwire is just as good as Suffix 832 and will cost less. Here’s some bass fishing accident pictures. Good luck out there.

I am a welder for a overhead sprinkler company, in Wausau, WI, and our sprinkler fitters are all working their tails off this year. This year has been pretty busy. It has been building up more and more over the last three years, when we did almost no work. Every industrial welder I know that wants to work, is working.

I would agree with putting the lure on and shaking the rod and the lure should fall. That is the right setup when using a baitcaster. As for the 30# braid you should be fine, I use 40# Suffix for Smallmouth Bass and I don’t seem to caught any less bass using it compared to 8# braided.

Notice how the wave isn’t very big, but upsets the plane of the boat very easily.

Watching this video you can see what that crash looks like from outside of the boat and how not to get caught in the same situation.

The afternoon of 9/2/2012 they where biting good on the middle wingdam.

Here are some cats from Labor Day weekend out of Pool 4.
