Title: FINALLY
Post by: mbarrett1379 on December 31, 2012, 01:34:26 PM
Finally got on ice today. First time using the new lowrance elite 4 ice machine, but once i got dialed in, it was on! Drilled lots of holes and once I got in the 9-12 feet of water ranged, started slaying the gills. Even caught alittle largemouth. Ice was little over 3 inches, but lots of clear ice. Keep freezing and stay safe! I had pictures but they are to "large" to upload

Save the pictures to your computer and then go to www.resizepics.com (http://www.resizepic.com).
You can resize them to 480 by 480 and save them to your computer to upload.
Also, On my iphone i can email the photos to myself. It asks what size and i choose small. This resizes it and it works great.
Finally, i believe you can change the settings on the camera to a size that will works. I hope this helps.
I also have the online tournament entry forms up.

Not me. Ice not safe yet with the snow and water layer on the ice. Hope the temps will continue to drop and I'll hit Mogadore Wednesday or Thursday.

Great pics and nice fish. What kind of fly reel are you running in the pic and how do you like it?
Title: Re: FINALLY
Post by: mbarrett1379 on January 01, 2013, 04:13:47 PM
Its an old martin 61 fly reel. I love the straight lining for panfish. No line twist with the small jigs, easy to get them down to the fish, and personally I think the look sweet and are lighter for the smaller rods. But for bigger fish like walleye and pike definently want a spinning reel
