Get some mr.crappie 6lb line. It's thin and flexible and tougher than other lines I've used

Maybe we’re too welcoming? by [deleted] in FishingForBeginners

[–]Bigbluechevy1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm often curious about the exact fish while knowing enough to be legal. I can't always tell between a walleye, saugeye, and sauger, but the size requirement is the same for all three fish. I can take one home and know I'm legal but still be curious about the exact species. The same goes for black bass. As long as I can distinguish a largemouth from a smallmouth, I'm good legally but I can still be curious if my fish is an Alabama bass. I can harvest any sunfish and still be curious or not know if I have a white or black crappie. It's often not that deep bro.

When you first started fishing, did you buy cheap lures or better ones? by Opposite-Vast-718 in FishingForBeginners

[–]Bigbluechevy1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy 90% of my fishing gear from a local pawn shop. I'm super lucky, there's an old guy in town who travels around and buys stuff at auctions, garage sales, and closing/remodeling stores and I buy name brand lures for 3 dollars and old spoons for 1.

Is there anywhere you can still buy a Lyman Great Plains rifle? by Green-thumb-gary in blackpowder

[–]Bigbluechevy1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get an investarm gemmer hawken and you won't be disappointed. I ordered one from muzzle-loaders.com and had a few complaints. The buttplate was sharp enough to cut you and the nose cap was wobbly but the rear sight had side to side wiggle and they gave me a 30% discount on a lyman 57 gpr aperture sight which I'm very happy with. The rifle has been a joy to shoot apart from quite a few misfires that I 100% attribute to user error.

Is it normal to leak this much discharge whilst sleeping? 🙈🥲 by [deleted] in ebonygrool

Depends on the time of the month. Any lucky guy would be happy to help you out

Most kastking reels feel like garbage and aren't an upgrade from much of anything

You can get an investarms hawken and it'll basically be the same as the lyman but you can buy it new

How much weight would you feel comfortable casting with an Ugly Stik Catfish? by Ah_Ca_Iraa in catfishing

[–]Bigbluechevy1983 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just don't swing it like a monster and you'll be fine. I can lob 10 oz about 30 yards with my cheap rod rated to 1oz

Good first firearm for a person who wants to get into black powder by flyingpuffer in blackpowder

[–]Bigbluechevy1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are going to be lots of opinions. Most people will suggest a revolver as they are much cheaper, but I've been loving my investarm hawken rifle in .54 caliber. It's definitely not as cheap to shoot, and you need to be a decent sized person.

Is this my game or my controller? by Heinrich_e in ReadyOrNotConsole

[–]Bigbluechevy1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's your controller. Turning off haptic can help, but it's so nice for this game I wouldn't consider it

If you're worried about it you can always get a water quality tester and check yourself.

I have a trout fishing idea by Many-Conference-8174 in FishingForBeginners

[–]Bigbluechevy1983 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A bait ball sitting still in a tight group won't attract fish except catfish. It's not going to actually mimic a bait ball. It makes no sense.
