Well after tearing apart my old revo stx-hs this winter and polishing and painting it, I decided to get some new bearings for the reel. I went with a set of orange seal ceramic abec7 bearings from boca bearings. I put them in last thursday and have fished with them a bunch now. They are awesome...

Just wanna give a heads up that tacklewarehouse still has the smaller series on sale for $149. I got one last week along with a lew's reel and two new rods, and I am just blown away by this thing. I have the centrifugal brake all the way open, the magforce set to no higher than 2, and the spool...

Well I haven't bought a rod and reel combo for well over a year, so I splurged and got two. I went with a Big Bear 7'3" 3/4 heavy rod with a Lews tourney pro speed spool and a ducket micro guide rod with a pflueger patriarch. All the gear arrived around 330 today and I spooled them up and hit...

After a bunch of skunk trips and crappy cold and rainy weather, we finally got a nice day on monday and I got my first LM of the year. It was a solid 2lber and I was happy to finally get a bass :shock: its been so long. It went up to around 80 on monday and we had rain tues and wed, but it was...

Well as long time members of this fine site, it was only typical of Captain Ahab and I not to make good examples of ourselves and take plenty of pics of his boat while we are working on it. I cannot be blamed as I cannot find my battery charger for my camera, but I did finally take some pics...

This weather is making my nuts, I haven't been in the mood for hunting so I have just been messing with my guns. I have been wanting to customize my 10/22 since the day I got it when I was 13....12 years later I finally got around to it. I went with a boyds stock thats kinda like a ambi...

I've had my revo stx for over three seasons now and it has treated me very well. That being said, I haven't touched it as for cleaning or lubing it. It was having some levelwind issues this summer so I started messing with it, but could not get either of the sideplates off. I have taken lots of...

Hit a pond midday today for a couple hours. We have had a ton of rain since last week....6+ inches and it has been screwing things up to say the least. I decided to hit the pond cause the lakes haven't been working out. I stopped at the bait shop to pick up some jigs and trailers, since I always...

So I have been wanting to get into fishing with big swimbaits for LM, but just haven't been able to drop my other standard baits. I do already use a lot of big baits, so it won't be a hard transition, it's mainly hard for me to bite the bullet on some super expensive jointed hard swimbaits. A...

The White Whale killer and myself hit up a local lake on friday and saturday night. Friday night went to the Ahab, with him boating 2 fish, and missing what seemed like a million on a soft plastic frog. I had some line issues on my baitcaster so I was throwing small frogs and senkos for most of...

Mr Ahab and myself are avid JD baits users, me mainly fatboys and Ahab everything. We started using the 8" fatboys this year and they have just started producing lately. It was too early in the year before, now the toadie bass wanna eat them up. Here is Dave with a nice one he caught the other...

Mr Ahab and I went to a lake called the Giving Pond late in the day today, and fished until just before dark. This place looks awesome with standing timber everywhere. There are also lots of islands and irregular shoreline with an almost constant depth around 10ft. There is supposedly lots of...

Picked up one of these monster frogs the other week. So far I have only picked up one 2lb fish on it and had a few blowups on it. The size was a little intimidationg at first, but my favorite lake has huge frogs in it so I wasn't too turned off. Spro frogs aren't my favorite frogs, but this one...

I have a ton of baitcasting rods, but only one revo stx...I usually just switch the reel to the rod I want to use, but this it getting old. I love that reel, but I dont feel like dropping the cash right now, and would like to get two or three reels for the money I would spend on another revo...

With lots of night striper fishing and weekend drum trips, Mr. Captain Ahab and myself haven't been doing so well with Lm bass lately. We have either been striking out completely or just catching decent fish, but mostly dinks. Saturday we hit a pond that we know has nice fish in, but have yet to...

Dave and I hit a couple lakes lastnight despite the windy and rainy weather. The first lake was a bust, the second was the same for me, but not for Dave. I hooked a fish on my second cast, but it quickly came off, that was it for me the rest of the night. I had a few hits, but could not connect...

I have been trying to take my niece fishing once a week for the last three weeks. This week we skipped it due to rain, but I will have her back out this week. I wanted to take her all summer, but she had too much stuff going on, way too much for a five year old. Anyway the last trip was good...

:( Here are some pics from tonight and a few trips in this week. Fishing has been pretty rough lately, nothing special, just dinks and average fish. Dave and I fished tonight for a few hours, he got 3 small lm and I got 3 lm and a big crappie. I got all my fish on fatboys in various colors...

I hit the lake as soon as my girl left my driveway. It had rained off and on all day and started getting pretty cool in the evening, so I was not expecting much. On my third or fourth cast I hooked and landed a decent fish. The wind was blowing the opposite direction as normal which made feeling...

My gf was coming to my house for a few days, she lives in MD, so I wanted to get some fishing in before she got here. I headed to one lake and hooked something huge, it hit, and when I set the hook it ripped tons of drag and ran way into the pads. I broke it off :x I then ran to another lake...
