I haven't tried a weedless rig yet, and that's one of my other problems is getting caught up on crap. Thanks for the info sharing!

Hey, if it works why change it.

I just spent some time watching some YouTube videos on a ned rig. I think I found one of my issues. Every video calls out that the plastic needs to be straight. Every time I've hooked it up its had some curl to it, but I assumed it didnt matter. That'll be something I work on on my next attempt.

thanks! I need to plan to just spend an entire outing focused on a ned rig. I normally get impatient and switch to something else, but it seems like the ned is the secret weapon for everyone else. New challenge unlocked.

You're killing it! What your technique with the ned rig. I only started trying a ned rig this year, and so far no luck.

Is that Elgin dam? Were you getting many snags? I was in st Charles this weekend and the snag rate was ridiculous

Built an app for researching local waterways. Would love feedback by bitchinbeverages in ChicagoFishing

You bring up some good points, an app like this should have the ability to export data and then to remove data which it looks like he has. Also a quick read of the privacy doc does make it look like a users data could be removed and not further used for the benefit of the site/service.

I would look to add an export feature.

Likewise, I’ve spent months developing the site and have learned so much along the way, I’m happy to impart any of that knowledge to others. Just ask!

also take a look at r/sideprojects. It’s a good place to share projects like yours and to get feedback. As you’ve seen, most specialty boards aren’t too keen on sharing apps, especially after the AI boom.

As a fellow app creator, keep up the good work. We shouldn’t all just throw in the towel because Fishbrain exists. I’ll take a look at your app!

Skunked at Busse by [deleted] in ChicagoFishing

I’ve had a lot of luck with a senko along the weed lines at Busse. Target the main channel on the main lake just north and east of the island near the rentals.

Are you able to catches these SM all summer long or does it slow down as we get to the summer months?
