There's parts of the lake with little/no cell phone service. So if you can't reach someone, that could be why. Everyone should probably post what boat they'll be in if we aren't all going to meet at the time time/place.

I'll be in the backseat of whoever is willing to have me, or the 10'6" red perception

Lots of room in my Red Stratos 201 Pro elite. If you don't mind running fast down the lake?

Let us know an estimated time and we can take a lunch break around then.

You're more than welcome to clean that out of your own livewell...

apiazza · May 06, 2020, 09:21:10 AM

The whole lake is my livewell...I just have a hell of a time getting fish out of it

zippyduck · May 06, 2020, 12:55:24 PM

My livewell is not going to be used for that reason.

There is always a roll in my boat.

Fine, fine, fine

I'll be sure to pack some general supplies

Give me a co-angler lesson, please, how many rods should I plan to pack? I don't want to be that guy.

I have an empty rod locker. Bring it all. Well everything you think you will need. Lots of room for tackle also. that is why I bought a 20 foot boat.

I dont have enough of either to fill a locker but I appreciate the offer. I have a nice size tackle bag that works well and I'll figure out which rods make the most sense.

Usually 5-6 is about the limit. Any more than that and you're tripping over them.

If I bring any more than that I'll have to pack salt water rods

If fishballer brought all of his the boat would lean to one side.

nice edit zip.

Fingers crossed on some reasonable weather. I don't own a bunch of fancy rain gear. I do own some sweet slicks from my offshore fishing days. I'd look like a fool but at least I'd be dry!

I'm going to try and do some soft plastic organizing next week so I'm not digging through my bag looking for stuff.

Can you tell I'm excited?

fishballer06 · May 08, 2020, 01:41:40 PM

I need to respool quite a few reels, but I should be good to go.

zippyduck · May 08, 2020, 03:40:38 PM

Apiaza,
I have an extra set of rain gear.

Boat will be ready by that weekend.

Fishballer,

What is this should be ready to go?

They opened up that county.

Allegheny, Butler and Bedford counties are opening up next week as well.

zippyduck · May 08, 2020, 04:24:43 PM

I saw that.

apiazza · May 08, 2020, 04:50:56 PM

Thanks zip. Hopefully wont need it.

I have one reel I want to respool.

Are you pre-fishing? or was your dad out there?

fishballer06 · May 11, 2020, 10:24:22 PM

Talked to a local. I might try to go out on Saturday with my Dad and do some Crappie fishing. We have to rebuild the floor of our treestand on Saturday so we'll see.
