I've seen this question asked a lot. %90 of the time the answer is 600. 1,000' of wire fits perfectly. I use the 600's and love them The 700's with backer will have a bit faster retrieve, due to the bigger spool. Great reels ether way.
Next year if all goes well, we may try the Brown Blast in St Joe. I have never fish that early in the year. My understanding is, to fish in tight with stick baits. Whats your favorite set up for early spring? Thanks.
I've been busy this winter rethinking, and adding to the rod collection.
As it stands the spread is;
2, wire/low divers
2, braid/high divers
3, rigger rods
1, 2 color/swr
2, 5 color core
2, 10 color core
2, 120 copper
1, 175 copper
1, 300 copper
Also the rod tree's that Jon is making.
This should give me good coverage.
I may have to move the rods out of the garage because, it's driving me nuts seeing, but not being able to use them.
A few stats. This proposed project takes up 100 square miles of lake, and will produce 1000 megawatts (or according to longline 300 mw) of electricity during peek performance. A new nuclear plant produces 1200-1500 megawatts at peek, and requires a footprint of less than one square mile. The only waist/pollution a nuclear plant has is, spent rods. The spent rods are kept on site, and take up an area of less than most peoples back yard. On the down side a Nuclear plant cost in the 4-5 billion range. (now that would be a lot of jobs) 100sm v 1sm. Which is greener? My electric bill last month had a charge of $2.50 for "Renewable Energy Surcharge". This surcharge we are all paying, is what funds these projects. How do they plan to maintain these towers in the winter when the lake is froze up? The other issue they have is, in the cold months the wings freeze up, with huge ice chunks flying off. I read in the local paper that Caledonia School System wanted to put up a windmill for power. The project was to cost $120,000. The tower was capable of producing $2,000 worth of electricity each year. That's a 60 year payoff without maintenance or interest. Tell me that makes sense? .
Mark will you explain how this will happen. I've seen this reply before, but I fail to see how. If our energy is produced by Coal, Natural Gas, and Nuclear, where dose the oil come in?
First off, Welcome to the site Kevin. I enjoy your post on the BDN site. Quote from the article "Concerning the charge of using an illegal fishing device, Denholm said Tatrow "initiated" the fishing activity and "admits he participated in the illegal activity." She added he accepts responsibility for his actions but doesn't fish for commercial purposes." If his intention wasn't commercial, than what did he plan to do with 1,100 pound of fish?
