Got my reservations in today for next fri, sat, and sunday. All booked up at Lake Talquin Lodge but managed a cabin at a place that Litewirehooker old me about called Ingrams. It was supposed to be just me and my dad but once my wife got wind that it was near Tallahassee her and my mom jumped on the band wagon so they could do some shopping. Hope we get on em!
oops, sorry for the messed up typing, meant to put Talquin.
Got so excited he can'e evan spell....

Hope the weather is better next weekend, Had enough of Honey-do list!.
yeah i am pretty pumped. Went to Gander Mountain today to get 2 14 footers to add to my arsenal but they dont carry em. Lately when i longline i have been using a 16', 12', and 6' on each side up front and 4 reg size rods in the back , but i figured i mind as well throw a 14' on each side as well and just kinda angle em back a little to cover more water. Called LTL and they said they had a few 14's so im gonna get 2 as soon as i get there. pretty good price too, only $36. gettin some new hi vis yellow tomorrow to throw on em to try and cut down on tangles.Quote:

I'll be right across the sreet from you. Good luck and welcome to Talquin.
As you get older and your eyes see less, you will like the Hi-Vis line. I can't see how to untangle the clear line. The Hi-Vis will sure help when you bring in about 4 or 5 lines with one jig hooked to a striper ........that's when it's fun.

Hey i might not catch em all but im gonna tell ya one thing........im gonna catch as many as i can! Takin my wife gill/ shellcracker fishin in the afternoons prob, gonna load up on them bad boys too!
Sorrydog, Vicious makes a great Hi-Vis...Bass Pro also has a version (Mr. Crappie)...what lb. test you use is a personal preference
good luck. I'll be there too. hopefully they'll turn on for us. Fished there yesterday and it was tough....mainly because of the weather though....only caught 2 specs and few bass.
yeah i hope they turn on good too. Hi Vis line is hard o come by here in Jacksonville, ya gotta almost order it our luck out. Academy doesnt carry it, Gander Mountain does but the lowest they go is 10lb test. I ordered 2 spools of Vicious 6lb test of some website. Looks like pretty good stuff. Gonna make casting back out between lines alot easier while longlining.
I ordered from the website.
