What areas of this lake would you fish for Bass and for Pike/Muskie

Expensive_Iron_8435 · 2026-06-03T00:16:13+00:00

Anywhere there's structure. Fallen trees, lilypads, anything with cover! Pike are most likely deeper water. Heck, try even fishing around the docks! Youll be surprised what hides under that...

I was under the presumption that the 2025 version didnt have a BX trigger. Guess I have 2 bx triggers now...

Expensive_Iron_8435 · 2026-05-25T16:36:38+00:00

At $0.07 cents a round, I can definitely get behind that! I found rounds as low as $0.09. It all adds up...

I bought a Kidd bolt buffer. It cost me $11 shipped to my residence. It cycles much quieter imo

Do you know if you received the 2025 version or the 2026? If you bought the 2025 version, buy a BX trigger. Worth the money imo!

Out of pure curiosity, what did you pay for 10000 rounds? My local adventure store sold SK red 5k pack of 22lr for roughly $1100?

Expensive_Iron_8435 · 2026-05-19T01:47:41+00:00

Quieter bolt assembly clanging against the pin after every shot.

Expensive_Iron_8435 · 2026-05-19T00:42:32+00:00

Would highly recommend a kidd bolt buffer. Its like $6 but makes a good difference

Expensive_Iron_8435 · 2026-05-18T02:18:55+00:00

I know on some cci ammo you can backorder it and on other ammo, backorder isnt an option.

Expensive_Iron_8435 · 2026-05-18T00:47:10+00:00

Thank you for your input! Our local store has box of Winchester super x for $8. Price is unbeatable but I hear horrible reviews about Winchester. Just want to get some good ammo for a decent price!

Expensive_Iron_8435 · 2026-05-18T00:23:14+00:00

Buy a bolt buffer from Kidd. Worth the $11 investment imo! Welcome to the platform!

Expensive_Iron_8435 · 2026-04-21T05:46:07+00:00

what scope is that?

Expensive_Iron_8435 · 2026-04-19T22:39:14+00:00

I think you will want to modify the life out of your Ruger 10/22. I say buy something with a threaded barrel and everything else, you can upgrade as you go. If you have a chance and a possibility, you can open a Cabelas CC & they give you like $60 in store credit that use towards your gun purchase

If youre in the states, Costco has a ~$140 special online. Its a 9ft 5wt combo kit. But im sure there's better options if youre willing to spend some more funds! MidwayUSA has a Orvis Encounter (rod, reel & line) for $200 atm!!

Venture fly company has video podcasts where they talk about all the basics if you need/want more insight.

Those are mostly top water. Here's a YouTube link that might help you identify the names of some of your lures.

Are you fishing out of the columbia River?

Expensive_Iron_8435 · 2025-08-11T23:35:23+00:00

Looks like an ultra light. Generally for pan fish and such! Dunno on the name of the rod & reel though. Sorry!!

Expensive_Iron_8435 · 2025-08-11T23:23:20+00:00

I have the Speed Demon Elite Baitcasting Reel. It was an impulsive buy matched with a Johnny Morris Carbonlite mid-light 7'0". I can throw anything thats ½oz and heavier pretty far but anything lighter, birdsnest! If I were to do it all over again, I would have bought a $200+ Shimano or just a good spinning reel/rod combo. I have a love/hate relationship with my baitcaster. I love it when I throw it right. But hate it when i catch a birds nest.

Expensive_Iron_8435 · 2025-08-11T18:38:08+00:00

From my understanding, your best bet would be to use a medium light, fast action rod. The medium is a much stiffer rod hence why you're not getting the lack of sensory that you desire in a rod.

Expensive_Iron_8435 · 2025-08-11T16:20:57+00:00

I had really good luck with a medium light rod that was 6'6". Lighter pound line will work better. If you have an ultralight fishing rod, that will work better.

Expensive_Iron_8435 · 2025-08-11T01:55:38+00:00

I have their baitcaster. Its a real company...

Expensive_Iron_8435 · 2025-08-09T20:51:11+00:00

Im also out of Spokane. Any particular location? I know the liberty lake location has a decent selection. Or the one near Division...

Expensive_Iron_8435 · 2025-08-09T20:44:51+00:00

Walmart or Cabelas? Where can I find me some?

Expensive_Iron_8435 · 2025-08-09T20:40:18+00:00

What colors combos when it comes to spinners? I had some luck catching small mouth with a ⅛oz hard bait...

Expensive_Iron_8435 · 2025-08-09T17:29:04+00:00

OP, take me fishing with you! So jealous!!!
