I'm still sweet on these old girls after all these years. The pic of the muskrat taken from the beaver dam that they damaged earlier this spring. The odd looking thing in front of me is a tarp that someone placed to block a whirlpool under a log about 10 ft. out from bank. Thankfully, it is working. I have fished this beaver dam since the 60's.Attachment 383894Attachment 383895Attachment 383896Attachment 383897Attachment 383898
Are those rods and reels from the 60s too? They look like antiques. It's awesome though that you still love what you do after all these years and have been doing it in the same spot too.
Great report- Those reels have survived the test of time. beautiful area and nice gills.
Nice catch, pretty Gills!
Yes, nice pics and a real nice place to fish. Love the old gear.

dont put that old 308 down near me , it might get lost , just saying :Rofl
beautiful spot and fish no doubt about it , thanks for the photos and report :cheers2
Hmmm. My 60's Mitchell 408 won't fit on a modern Fuji seat on my modern UL/l rods - the reel foot is too long and a bit wide. It fits on the old kinds of rods, like a Crappie Stix, Cherrywood, or Ugly Stick, but I prefer the new rods. Thinking of carefully grinding it to match a modern 1000-size Daiwa foot. Would you? I don't care about the "value" because I'll never sell it.
careful with the neck area if you do , thats the weak link :cheers2
Cool, thanks for the report.
Nice fish, and as Ketchn says "Kaboom". There are state boards here also, just look at the top of the page, for State Forums.
