I figured someone would say that.I will use stronger line at times,but I figure smaller line gets less leaves on it when they are flowing.Plus on a side note what is the 6lb.line class record for channels in the state.My biggest is 27 inches,so it may make it more of a challenge but not impossible,but thanks for the advice anyway.
Hey carp chaser,as in every year my goal is to catch my biggest fish of any species.As for as for not loosing any fish once hooked up, thats already out the window.I went fishing 2 weeks ago on the crow river out by howard lake,was using 6 lb. test caught one cat around 6 lbs.. hooked up on another later in a small slack water,(using crawlers)had him even for about 5 minutes he finally found what he was looking for(and what I could’nt see and puuled drag which was followed by an eeeek and than the unpleasant snap.I would like to catch a channel cat over 30 inches this year.
What exactly is a bank sinker?How do you rig it?Will it stay right where you cast it or will it move.Does it get snagged?If you use a three way swivel do you let out slack and tighten or just let it sit.The technique I would like to accomplish is being able to cast horizontally to a current break be able to leave it in that spot with slight movement(weight staying fixed)then slip it about 5 feet down the current line and repeat the process.
hello carp chaser,I have done work at the excel energy plant and have heard they have pulled flatheads off there filters over 100 pounds ,more interesting to me is a paddlefish around 40 pounds.
