I am looking at getting a new walleye rod. I will mostly be using it for lindy rigging, so I assumed I would try a 7' since I have never had one. But now I am almost thinking of staying with a 6'6". Is there really that much difference that I would notice using a 7' from a 6'6"? Since this rod will be the best one I own, wouldn't a 6'6" be a better all around rod(something I could use for lindy rigging, jigging, and maybe even casting a crank)? Most people say that 7' for lindy rigging is the way to go, but I still hear some say that 6'6" is just fine. Help me out!
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
