it depends on what ur fishing for fishing for jocky

I have been going after sandies mostly or really anything i can catch. A guy that i tag along with sometimes told me my line is to big and i need to get 6 lb test.

i use 6 mono. if u get a hybrid u better have your drag set right

I always use 6 pound also but alot of people use 4! Next time I get up to gander mtn. Im gonna pick some 4 pound cajun

Fishing line jocky 4 lb works best, open your drag. The very best thing to do is book a trip with Tarponfly. He will teach you what you need to know. If you cant do that then spend a lot of time reading the threads from the beginning of this topic and you'll pick up on a lot of things. The money spent for Tfly's services is small in comparison to the knowledge gained.

Jocky, I have to agree with John L. I went out with Tarponfly last Thursday, and we flat wore them out. Not only was it allot of fun catching, but I learned allot. Highly recommend him.

Thats why I quit going out there(today) Its crazy

Darn I thought I was going to bring it to a 100

ANYONE GUIDE STRIPER FISHING ON THE BANK and ONLY LURE please. PM me please. I dotn want to catch them minnows, shads, frogs, chicken liver or anything that smell and move. I want to catch them on pencil popper and other lures. let me know if you do guide striper fishing at texoma on the bank. thanks

Oops! I fell asleep;( I didn't even get to watch my beloved LA LAKERS. Getting back to reality and life's responsibilities interfered with my ability to remain in the fishing realm and post a proper report last night.

However I know I have been fishing too much when I wake up without the benefit of an alarm clock at 4:45, scared that I overslept for another round of RC madness.
Quick look around the room in total darkness wondering where I am and what time it is. Flashes of creek visions in slideshow format or short clips are quickly envisioned and soon dissipate as the mental acuity comes back and the realization that I'm just sitting here takes place.

Thus, I'm still too groggy to properly collect my thoughts and reflect on yesterday's events. Let's just add to the preview by asking the lurkers here, "does anybody know how you take this picture



and put it on paste it on this picture in lieu of the normal reptilian head?"


Caption would read, "Did anybody see this man running downstream from near the Gun Range to the Firewheel Bridge? He would have adorned double waders but all detailed facial features might have been blurry as the total distance covered might have taken less than 1 minute in near-light speed animation. Potentially, you would have only seen the aftermath of water droplets or mist as he was able to move so quickly on the top of the water that some might have confused him as Jesus. Not to be alarmed as he was not fleeing the scene of a crime, outrunning police, or escaping the Game Wardens after throwing a cast net. Details of the events indicate that it was a harmless garter snake and it might have been a fake one for that matter. The aforementioned suspect first dove headfirst in the creek fully engulfing the double waders to appear "sumo-like" in body form. Once discovering that the potential serpent was potentially still alive, the suspect proceeded to rise on plane like a jetboat does in .2 seconds and then proceeded to hydroplane much like the picture above. Very impressive to say the least and very distracting though for the hybrid anglers. This might have shut off the bite now that I think of it...or it was the vibration of the 3 other angler's laughter???

He would have looked liked this...

From Jeff:

Its all about quality, not quantity.

Nice job NightFisher. That is the fish that broke my 10 lbs test line. When did you catch them?
