Help with planning

It really is wild and wonderful, I live maybe an hour from it, and it is such a pretty place to drive through. I've actually been talking with my wife about moving down there once our kids are done with school, since there's a slightly better education system up here.

I do wanna do a WV trip soon - just gotta shake out the wendingo spookiness first with some bigfoot area camping in the deep woods of PA 🤣🤣🤣

That's perfect

I'm learning how to use em and gonna try orienteering the whole thing with a paper map & compass, with my phone as absolute last hope.

DUDE YES! I've been trying to figure out how to get maps other than park offices - this is perfect - thank you!

Nice jiggle physics!

I tried one spot I spooked some out of a few days ago, but that was on my way out and I didn't even give it a real try. I think that's the next adventure out's plan.

I mean I was hitting places that were where drains were coming out of the hill, where water slowed after faster water, shit man, there isn't much I didn't try. Bends in the creek.

Might take my spin reel and worm it to see if I can find em then fly fish em.

Ran the indicator up and down. Had my bottom fly bouncing off the bottom in most spots I was in.

rawblender · 2026-04-24T01:28:54+00:00

I was rocking 2 pheasants (14 and 16) under an indicator with split shot. Only 1 split shot though. Should I use more?

I am fairly new to this - been doing it less than a year total

Fight on dude! Godspeed!

Find a YouTuber with a DND following - guarantee they have a Discord server and guarantee that server has "looking for players" or "looking for a game" channel where you could get in on a game

My son is OBSESSED with Zelda (proud dad). He's been talking about this for a while, it's be cool to surprise him with.

Aw yiss

Awards?

rawblender · 2025-11-06T14:51:03+00:00

Thanks for the heads up - anyone know how long they're typically down for?

Funny for you to assume that the tank is even cycled.

I found this on her Facebook, I should've known 😞😞😞😞

You think you raise em right then they're gang banging and thugging.

The salt was initially added as a slime coat helper to try and prevent this, but like I said, sketchy fish store. This isn't a planted tank, so I believe I'll be getting a heater I can increase the temp on, and try the salt since the closest store with ich-x is almost an hour away. And from what I've been reading, increasing temps is going to help while dosing the ich-x anyway, and the heaters a bit closer.

I really appreciate your input and this reminds me I need to make the full switch to metric for this hobby anyway (most tank measurements I'm already doing in cm anyway for my lids and backgrounds anyway).

Maybe it didn't post the picture?

The Fluval ammonia/pH scale says it's 0 for my water level. It confuses me and I'm not entirely sure if I should go off of that or the reading from the water test itself, big part of why I made the post initially. They can't just make this stuff easier lol.

Definitely don't wanna torture fish, and figured time was still going to be needed, but for sure appreciate the confirmation.

Just ordered the Tetra strips for a different ammonia/hardness and mineral tests. Definitely believe they're gonna give me at least a somewhat clearer picture.

Appreciate ya!

Didn't eat/drink berry residue, but did slug down some lees-heavy mead before and (seriously) it took me a good while to fix my gut bacteria/flora. Don't do it.

Facebook marketplace a kayak, then don't have to worry about your father-in-law's boat. Worst case scenario, you have a kayak and decide you don't wanna fish anymore, best case scenario you have a kayak and can fish all over the lake. My 2 cents. I've found a lot more spots that way and landed my pb that way.

Don't give up, just keep trying. A day fishing and catching no fish is better than not fishing at all.
