I have a single person pontoon. I was wondering if anyone else had a yak, or toon and might want to meet up on a weekend, meet a new fishing buddy, and to float the clackamas, or sandy?
Well i usually use 10 lb leader for steel. The reason i use 10 lb is because if if hook a bigger one (10 plus lb steel) i know the leader will hold up. i also use a 10' 6'' lamiglass for the fight which in theory would give me quite a bit more leverege when fighting a bigger fish. I have been...
Well I have to say i agree with you about bait not floating and using something that will give it buoyancy but when i drift bait i use smaller amounts of eggs/prawns (not to familiar with coon shrimp). I have had a lot of hook ups using bait only without corkys or anything to help it float. i...
I like to drift marbou flies tied on a #2 for steel. some times i use prawn tails too. eggs will also get r done. seen ppl use sand shrimp as well. corkys seem to be productive. the best thing that i have found is to keep it simple, there is such a thing as over kill. Here are a few examples of...

Hey bro just out of curiosity is that fly ties using schlappen or marabou. it almost looks like palmered sclappen but the feathers are kinda long which makes me think u palmered the marabou. schlappen feathers arnet usually that long. :think:

Nice steel!
Its nice to know that the steel is getting started on EC. I might have to hit it 2 morrow before work, good thing i work grave.:cool:
I use 30# power pro on my rig and it sounds heavy, but i never loose a bobber, and with a 9'6" rod can damn near cast across the clack at mciver with a 1/2oz inline sinker. As far as braided line being more abrasion resistent, i have yet to see that using power pro, but i use it for the...
