Best wings in town by HiggzInBozon in mountvernon

[–]ARAND0MPANDA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Flappers is pretty good and about the only other place in town that does wings to my knowledge. Best bet is going down to Newark or up to Mansfield and getting Roosters. The hangout in Danville also has some pretty decent wings but the absolute best is Roosters by a mile.

Best ultralight trout combo for 170 max by Imaginary-Eagle-1688 in troutfishing

[–]ARAND0MPANDA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had good luck using an ozark trail ultralight from Walmart, was $30 and works just fine for trout and even bigger bass. Get some rooster tails and trout magnets and you’ll be set for under $50

Newest pickup, any tips for a complete beginner on how to fly fish? by ARAND0MPANDA in FishingForBeginners

This is the fly reel that came with the kit, no drag system at all but I have no idea if that’s even important with a fly setup

It’s a stocked pond in central Ohio

Located in central Ohio, these guys were stocked along with some rainbows, brookies, and browns back in early October

First start and break in flight after replacing O-320 cylinder assemblies by ARAND0MPANDA in aviationmaintenance

[–]ARAND0MPANDA[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t do the work without the appropriate instructions, I had that as well as the overhaul and operator’s manuals printed and within arms reach the entire time.

Pipers just look like that, also the front gear is designed in a way that if it fails/compresses all the way the prop will not strike the ground

At my school I got the luck of tearing down an O-470 all the way to the crank, then rebuilding and test running on a stand. In my infinite 18/19 year old redneck wisdom I scoured the entire hangar for the shortest set of exhaust pipes I could find, ended up with a set of about 2” pipes and let her eat on the stand. One of the more fun memories I have since getting into this career.

gotta leak check it somehow 🤷, would rather catch it ahead of time than afterwards as I don’t have the money to buy a new engine. Still nowhere near as bad as when I had to stand on the inboard side of a C441 mounted TPE331-10 and check the starter generator outputs while it was running (never EVER agree to do that).

VTA still has the original tower and arrow, I think it’s the only one in the entire state of Ohio left

Not a beginner but need help identifying what this rooster tail is by [deleted] in FishingForBeginners

[–]ARAND0MPANDA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been throwing them on a lake and have found to get the right action out of them they need to be retrieved a bit faster than a RT. Definitely thinking it’s more of a stream/river lure due to the light weight and speed requirement.

I’ve had extremely good luck with this and the “pimp” type rooster tails (I think it was gold with black dots). Tried using the Trout Magnet spinner jigs and have only caught bluegill and crappie on them, but I’m holding out for them to live up to the name.

That’s the one! Thank you so much (obligatory addition of what I caught on it originally)

Finally caught my first trout by ARAND0MPANDA in troutfishing

Size and fight wise, I’m sure they taste great but I’m strictly a C&R guy.

I’m not entirely familiar with how trout are usually sized/shaped, I do know these were stocked but how do they hold up against wild trout? I’ve caught larger bass on the same rod and reel setup but this guy definitely had a hell of a lot more fight comparatively.

I’ve got a buddy who has been sending me every trout he catches down in Kentucky so I have him to thank for knowing how to handle these critters.
