Catch more Bluegill with a Branson

[sassafraspete]

I knew the FEL on by Branson was going to come in handy, but whew ...was it a life saver today. Sure saved my back lifting all those bluegill !!

Just how many gills will the front loader lift?

That's one toothbar! Seems teeth density is higher than the ones I've seen. Did you get that somewhere special?

Also, being brought up in Southwestern Ohio, I have very fond memories of fishing farm ponds in south Indiana.

Buck, that's an ezattachments landscaper toothbar...with 18 teeth. A regular bar would have had only 7 teeth for that bucket. I keep waiting for the day I accidentally bump into those...ouch. I like the extra teeth...as I can backdrag my driveway with pretty good results, and have also used it to cut in a road...but you have to learn the subtle angle needed, else you will bury it pretty quickly.

I know what you mean about the farm ponds...that's where a lot of us did our first fishing...and bluegill are great for kids to catch. I got back into light line tackle and fishing a few yrs ago, and thouroughly enjoy the action that comes out of that. Although tedious to filet, the eating rewards are great.

And then of course, with a 5 gallon bucket of fish remains, I just threw the bucket into the loader and fired up the tractor, and hauled them to the back field. I usually just lay them on the ground for Hawks and other animals to eat. Of course I could have fired up the backhoe. The joy of having a tractor.

It's just amazing what these new compact tractors can do for a feller! Willie Jones /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

That's right Willie, I used to have to cut off my fishing day early as I was afraid of lifting the cooler. Now, looks like I have that problem solved. I'm sure this Branson will improve my fishing.
