Northwest Fishing Reports

Guys and Gals,
I have to share this new casting technique I learned yesterday from Muskyhunter.
He showed me how vital it is in tight areas with alot of tree limbs hanging over the water or when you're close to the bank. It'll definitely shorten your casts and keep you alot closer to the boat. I'm going to set up a rod just for this purpose.
First: Attach a spooled reel to your rod, then thread the line through the first guide, make one complete wrap around the rod shaft and then through the next guide. Now just continue through the rest of the guides, tie on your favorite lure nd walla, you're ready for some close quartered casting.
Another variation to this for super short casts in extra tight spots is to rig up as stated above and then revolve the reel around the rod once and reattach. Now you're ready for those really tight, tough to get into spots.
Todd showed this impressive technique to me yesterday on Mayfield.
Thanx Todd. Sorry, I couldn't keep it a secret.

PS I almost forgot: You'll have to adjust your anti-backlash control considerably tighter according to Muskyhunter.

This is a joke folks. Just poking fun at Muskyhunter.

Mark that takes to much time wrapping the line around the rod. The quick method I use is simply wrapping the line once around the crank handle. On a hard cast you will break the rod off just below the second eye or snap the line and put that high dollor bait next to the sliding glass door of a very upset home owner, 150 feet away from the water. Its a easy way to upgrade your rod or bait.

And everyone thinks it's just about catching fish. Hahahahaha

We should start a list of how much we have broken or lost for the hole season. We could even list the cost of replacments. The one that keeps the cost the lowest wins braging rights for the winter.
