What to buy for startup???

Man I am itching to get the boat out now.. I want to try out my new gear.. We have a snow storm coming in tomorrow and hopefully mid next week we will finally warm up.. Sneak out of trout camp next weekend, hook up the boat and try to get into those slabs. Appreciate all the help in this topic.

Well just reporting back, the gear I purchased seems to work!! I've been out fishing as much as I possibly can and I have been crushing the crappie! I wanted to say thanks for the advice, catching fish almost everytime I hit the water and it's great!

EXCELLENT !! Now you can start posting pics and reports !! (but just remember : don't give your spots away !! general info only (lake, depth, baits used, how you fished) ... and if you take a picture while on the water ... use the bottom of the boat or the sky as your background !! Too many people can tell where you were if you show the bank you're fishing as your background ... and next time you go, you'll have to take a number and get in line to fish there

Remember ... this is a public site on the WWWeb, and there are MANY people that just troll sites like this just looking for someone to show a pic or give too much info on where they fished, and then they'll be all over that spot.
