Anyone know where I can rent something (anything, I'm not picky) to go out on Lake Wilson? We are having a family reunion in May and my brother in law wants me to take him fishing for Tucs. I recently moved to the mainland and I'm having a hard time finding places on the internet. Any suggestions wo...

no need floaters...just freeline it on 8-10 lb test.

I chose tilapia to be my prime bait but I've had success in using baby aholehole as well. They come up to the stream close to where I live and they get hooked along with the tilapia I catch. Aholehole put a lot of action and I like how their color attract fish even in the muddiest water.

If you had to choose one type of bait to catch tucs, what will it be?

what do you feed him? how big is your aquarium?

Wow! Awesome pics, Stan. If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost you for the whole trip (including airfare)? Thanks. P.S. I've also caught my fair share of sea birds while fishing.

Has anyone ever tried dunking (aka baitcasting) for catfish at the lake? Rigs? Baits? Location? Thanks.

Found it on the BassPro site.

(Looks exactly like this but without the extra gadgets.) http://www.plasticnavy.com/images/kayakreview/images/scupper2.jpg What kind of customizations have you done with it? I'll probably see you at the lake on Saturday. Than...

Hey Ken, Did those half-beak needlefish look somewhat like this? http://www.boat-ed.com/fl/fl_specific_images/graphics/freshwater_fish/Longnose_Gar.jpg I'm not too sure about this (maybe somebody can confirm) but I think they're called longnose gar. I've seen a few of them on the right side of the p...
