Well an angry Lady O kept us glued to the dock this weekend. That gave me a chance to spend the morning in the woods playing with stands. Most of my to do list is compete now. 5 cameras up in the past week also.

Wow its labor day already... Believe it or not, the fishing season is almost done. Less than a month from now, we will be back in the deer woods chasing Bambi again. Im hoping to document my season on here through all the ups and downs, once again. Last years hunting season thread seemed to be a success, so why not keep it going. Truth is, I dont do too much hunting prep while the boat is in the water or at least until September sneaks up on me. It really wasnt until this past week, that i put much thought into it. The calendar gave me a swift kick in the a$$ and i need to get things done, ASAP! The archery targets are back out barn and trail cameras will start going in the woods today. Rut in 60 days!!!
You want to make sure that when you start with a fresh reel of wire that the spool is full. Over time, cutting back and retying, shorten the amount on the spool and i respool once im below 700' or so. http://www.bloodruntackle.com/
When spooling wire I give the spool a wrap with electrical tape. I then attach 30# mono with an arbor knot and spool on 250 ft. (Okuma 30 series will require some "backing" to ensure the spool is full and the counter is correct). i then attach wire to mono using an albright knot and spool on 1000 ft of wire making sure i spool on as tight as possible by hand. On the business end the swivel is attached using a simple overhand knot. Before i use this newly spooled reel i attach a tripped diver and let out almost all of the wire and wind it all back on the reel under tension. Now its ready to be fished.
