I dont target them anymore, used to as a kid though. Still get the odd one here and there depending where/how I'm fishing. They were alot of fun on lighter gear no doubtWe have those too.Fight like hell.
When I was a kid we had Buffalo in our trout streams,very big and very wary.If you used a worm with no weight and it wiggled,they would pick it up.I dont target them anymore, used to as a kid though.

We used to suckered fish in winter in high water conditions. My dad was the best, I would bait like his and throw next to him and he still got me 4-1We have some big head buffalo around here too only ever got one fishing for bait (white suckers)

'lake crapper'. Gold
I've built several dozen fly rods years ago & changing a reel seat is not something I'd tackle. The seat and cork is almost always epoxied on & trying to remove that would likely be fatal to the blank.Has anyone built or repaired rods before, I've done minor repairs but I've never tackled a real seat and handle.
I've a sage z axis 10ft #7,
I'm thinking about changing the reel seat/handle for one with a 3" screw in extension so that i can use the rod double and/or single handed.
In higher water i use a 10ft #7 over my 9.6ft #6, the 10ft #7 is heavier, the lines are heavier and the flies are bigger/heavier and more resistant to casting, my wrist and elbows are getting to worn for it.
We had them in Mississippi. Never did catch one. Caught white and speckled sea trout, flounder, and redfish. Used to throw net for shrimp and had nets for blue crab. Hooked a gar once, it was too heavy to lift it up out of the bay.Primarily starfish, sea urchin, sea cucumber, barnacles, clams, crabs, oysters & shrimp. They are typically found around pilings, sea walls & rocky reef's.
