It does suck, I dealt with it a lot last year. Haven’t been back to that particular spot yet.

This is so confusing

That’s a really nice bluegill

Perch were always my favorite as a kid but I rarely catch them. I love bluegill though, there’s actually a restaurant out in the boonies in Indiana that serves Bluegill and it’s amazing.

My thought as well

Thank you. Mine definitely needed cleaning since we did some fishing at a pond with a lot of cottonwood tree crap in the water. My gf has a reel that was part of a combo, and I had to look up how to get the dang thing apart. I finally found an instructional video and decided it wasn’t worth my time, it was extremely tedious how it was put together so I told her if it stopped working we’d just buy another reel.

Your comment was actually really helpful, just this year I cleaned a oiled up a reel for the first time and had no clue what needed grease vs oil so thank you for that. I actually just ignored the oil since I had no clue what it was for and put a little grease on the gears. Is it unnecessary to do this yearly before your first fishing trip or only if you notice it getting rough?

I see what you did there.

A piece of paper with a bunch of words and my signature. Indiana doesn’t really care what it looks like.

Those are the shrieking eels! If you don’t believe me, just wait. They always grow louder when they’re about to feast on human flesh!
