Title: Video Fishing Vintage Reels
Post by: mo65 on May 26, 2017, 01:41:35 PM
   Early springtime fishing finds us using the ultalights for trout and panfish. If you pay close attention in this video you'll see a variety of cool old combos being used. There's a Mitchell 308 rebuilt by Fred, a Penn 720z rebuilt by yours truly, and an old Daiwa Prolite PL100 sporting new bearings and carbontex drags.  8)

Mo,
Looks like you and Tank picked a good day to go fishing. Nice weather, and multiple species!
Nice crappie BTW.....
Not that "any" day fishing isn't good!!

Looked like a lot of fun, I'm jealous you get out so much more often than I do. BTW, I think it was the third fish - the big crappie - I thought it was a bass until you picked it up. Nice fish!

Good video.  Couple of nice slabs in there.  Always miss the spring crappie bite.

   Thanks Sid, Lou, and John. Making videos is such a challenge. It would be easier if ya could just let the camera roll the whole time...but in the real world...that would require hours of editing. Not to mention a sack full of batteries. The solution is to turn the camera on when a fish bites. This works out fine most times...then there's those times it doesn't...like when I was horking a sammich and Marv hooked this nice bass. This happened the same day as that big crappie, but all I got was this still shot, and mustard on my shirt!  :D  Nice bass anyways Marv!  8)

Nice flick, Mo! Hard to beat a multi species trip like that.  Crappie are by far the best tasting panfish. Fun to freak out someone unknowing when they watch 'em cooking and go to curling up in the fry pan. ;D
