Didnt mean to sound doubtful, DG... not one reason to doubt you
And when they're hitting at that rate, even smalls are thrilling when they come in bunches like that Glad to hear things are cooking down there, kinda maybe looks like spring is starting to set in here as well Yeah, I need to go through the tackle box and start getting things in gear... |

I have been out a few times in the past month. Once in my kayak, once in the uncles boat, and once from shore. Three different locations, three different methods, and not a single fish.

I am pretty set into Overland Park but all the main highways are close. I get to pretty much any of the main Kansas reservoirs near KC in 45 minutes to an hour depending on where I am headed. Hillsdale is an easier drive though. There are other areas closer like the smaller city lakes but I don't go to those much since I tend to like getting out of the city. Spawning season coming up should certainly help the bite. I especially like that since it's much easier to get out there quickly without needing to load a kayak.

Anyone ever repaint old spoons before? Any tips on paint selection and process?

Got some pond fishing in today. I took my three year old daughter with me. She loves to fish. She didn't catch anything on her "frozen" rod and reel using worms. A little disappointed in the fish for that. I caught a handful of largemouth on my new Johnny Morris carbonlite spinner rod&reel. It's an ultralight with six lb Cajun line. Ultralight fishing is awesome.

Anybody in this thread fly fish? All I see is bait and spin casting posts and was just wondering.

That's funny you guys were just talking about ultra light fishing. I have started doing that much more lately for fun rather than necessity. In my kayak it is much easier to use small equipment so I have a couple of 4' 6" rods and small spinner reels with 4 lb test.
I have not been using them in all varieties of circumstances. I am not fishing for catfish so I am not likely to catch some monster that will just break the line right away. The past few weekends I have been doing some shore fishing and found that the white bass are hitting very hard right now. I don't keep them but on an ultra light outfit like I am using they are a heck of a battle. I have even gotten into a few large mouths as well. |
