We're you using splitshot and how much,how far from the hook? Ty

[@reliablyrandomoutdoors]

Yes, about 6 inches up from the hook. A number 8 hook and a very light split shot

[@michaelhamilton5418]

Thankyou

[@michaelhamilton5418]

We're using a bobber?

[@Smile4MyAC130]

Were you in the right zone for power bait. Zone 3 is the only zone you can use it.

[@reliablyrandomoutdoors]

Yes that is the very beginning of zone 3.

[@survivalistfishingandrevie228]

Actually the place you started at is Whistler Bridge. Zone 2 is flies and lures. Zone 3 is soft plastics and bait.

nice work! taking my young fam to Bennett in a couple weeks. had a few questions if you don't mind: what # test was your line, and how did you rig the minnows for the swift current? thank you in advance!

[@reliablyrandomoutdoors]

Thanks! Glad to share, I use 4# test and a number 12 hook. I prefer fluorocarbon but mono works fine too. A small piece of split shot about 6” up from the hook and that’s it. I hook the minnow up the chin and out the nose. Good luck fishing, glad to help anyway I can. We did do a beginners setup for trout fishing, I’ll try to share a link to it. Oh by the way they do sell minnows at the bait shop in the park but you have to ask for them since they keep them in the back

Where did you get the GoPro attachment for the chest camera?

[@reliablyrandomoutdoors]

HMMMM... not sure what you are referring to. someimes I use my clamp with ball a sockets and just attach it to myself. is that what you were seeing?

[@reliablyrandomoutdoors]

I was assuming you were not talking about the basic chest mount camera strap.... you can get those anywhere, I think i bought that at best buy

[@chamblen4]

that is a huge fish for a kid his size on an ice rod

[@chamblen4]

why did the chick have to get to the other side? to cross the road? to catch the toad?
