Pacemaker Fishing Forum

the fish was so very heavy, i knew it was a pig.

my adreneline was flying. i kept the tip down and the pressure firm. i never saw it until just before i pulled it b/t the rocks. the water has a good stain on that end, like 12 to 18 " visibility, even w/ polarized glasses.

i had it hooked well enough it coulnt have gotten off w/ a jump, but having lost some good ones, i didn't take any chances.
it all happened so fast

i give very high marks to trilene 12# xt.   been using it ever since i started fishing beaverdam last month. it is very tough, yet i can still throw and work a 3/16 bait.
even the rocks down there never cut it.

i think it outperforms the flourocarbons, although clear water might be a different story.
i dont catch much in clear water anyway. the fish can see you getting out of your car.
at $7 per 300 yds, opposed to $20 for 200yds, there is little to compare in terms of value for me.

Very nice.....XT is good, solid line.

well curly caught an 8 in cedar.

i wouldnt be surprised if there was a ten in ashburn.
the fish i have caught in there have a relatively small mouth, which some say is an indicator of a good balance.

does anyone know which body of water is the oldest?

i am guessing ashburn, because it is fed by a creek that had to be managed  to build ashburn village road.

i have seen hundreds of crayfish up walking around on that spillway in the late summer.

i snagged a mussel in there today that was very much alive.
i saw a larve in the mouth of one bass that may be related.

does curly know what the deepest point in ashburn is ??   

if you could get in there with a depth finder, she might give up her secrets, but sometimes it is better not to know.

i saw a big orange carp in there today.

i bet there are some tens in beaverdam.

thats the place i would really want to graph and fish w/ the right equipment.

wouldnt want to get'r up on a plane, huh??
