Ron and Oskolkoff, great pictures of great fish.
Right after I started this post, my wife took our boys on a play date, so I snuck over to Sportsmans Warehouse. I ended up buying an 8 foot medium heavy combo and some 30 lb braid, some 1 oz sliding sinkers, some swivels and some 2/0 circle hooks. I can't get too crazy on gear since I just bought (to sell of course, lol) a brand new bow that my wife doesn't really know about yet.
Thats pretty close to what Duckslayer suggested, I really did buy it before I read your reply. So it seems like I'll be in the ballpark. After fishing with this stuff for a while, I'll be able to decide if I'd like to change something.
Ron, I will be fishing almost exclusively from the bank at this point, so I opted for a little heavier gear. My buddy does have 3 pontoons similar to yours. I told him about your sturgeon you caught with them and he's scared!!! By the end of the summer, if there's any water left, we'll be out in the pontoons catching cats and hopefully sturgeon.
Oskolkoff, I'll be in touch about some spots. My father in laws place is right near the Blue Canoe, so its just down from Celebration Park.
Thanks again for all your help guys.
