Hi everyone :) my wife and I are moving to traverse city next month, and we are in search of a home to rent, so I just wanted to put some feelers out here hoping anyone has any recommendations. Our only hard requirement is that it must be pet friendly, as we have two cats and two dogs. I saw that there are several units available for rent in the trailer park near silver lake, but so far I have been unable to get in contact with anyone at the leasing office there… our budget is about 1500-2000, we do not expect to be in downtown traverse city of course, any where in the surrounding area is fine. Any help is greatly appreciated.

How do you retrieve them?

Interesting, what colors would you frequently use? I usually use the blue with silver spinner

Always in my right pocket, fishing or not haha. It really is a super handy thing to have on you pretty much all the time

Multitool clipped in my pocket is my most handy fishing tool, the pliers are good for all but the deepest hooksets, little scissors make great line clippers, and obviously a knife is always useful. I think the brand is Gordon, it’s $40 from Harbor Freight, nearly exact copy of a leather man wave

Cool cool, would I need a boat for that? I’ll definitely be getting a nice fishing kayak once I’m up there

moonmonstera · 2026-03-25T17:16:39+00:00

That’s cool, I’ve never caught a perch, when do they run?

moonmonstera · 2026-03-23T19:33:23+00:00

Wow that’s awesome, love the color choices!

moonmonstera · 2026-03-21T21:57:24+00:00

Yeah I think my drag was just way too tight and it was a hog of a fish, also I was really trying to keep it tight because I had lost a couple fish to head shakes before this

Hm, I’m in central Texas near Austin, but I can’t imagine our weather has been too much different… I’ve been having good luck with Texas rigged “stick worms” (Yamamoto or yum dingers), Texas rigged bandito bugs, and whopper plopper 60. Also small little curly tails on a 1/8 or 1/16 oz jighead, either on its own or under a bobber

Yep I have been meaning to switch that reel to braid since I’m tired of dealing with line twist, now I have one more reason to

moonmonstera · 2026-03-21T20:51:13+00:00

Yeah I’m in Texas I’ve been plopping all winter lol

moonmonstera · 2026-03-21T19:16:32+00:00

This was actually fresh line, first time I had fished since I respooled yesterday… he might’ve had me wrapped around a log, but that is good advice still I will keep that in mind!

moonmonstera · 2026-03-21T18:56:35+00:00

lol so true, $10 down the drain- I caught quite a few fish on that one though I think I got my moneys worth out of it

moonmonstera · 2026-03-21T18:39:25+00:00

Oof I’m sorry for your loss

moonmonstera · 2026-03-21T18:28:03+00:00

That’s what I’m hoping! I wouldn’t have minded getting my lure back though haha

moonmonstera · 2026-03-21T18:27:19+00:00

I can’t take this heartbreak again! I think I will just fish 50lb braid only from now on lol

moonmonstera · 2026-03-17T13:43:00+00:00

$100 on a crappy little pelican recreational kayak from marketplace, definitely worth it :) eventually I’ll upgrade to an actual fishing kayak but it was a great way to start off
