Maiden Voyage

[bwillaub]

Took the boat out this morn and tried out the racks & seats. They worked great. Fishing was slow but did manage 14 good ones before I had to head home. Threw back several fish between 9 and 10 inches. Gonna rethink my rigs tho. Using 6# mono now but think I will switch to 10#. Broke off several times. I believe the 10# will straighten out the hooks instead of breaking. Had a great time and look forward to getting out again soon.

Wanted to mention that I ran into Bigby. He was dipping trees and said he had 12. It was nice to see him.

Glad you got out to try the new set-up! I have a question though; why mono instead of braid?? Just curious.

[beagle man]

mono stretch, braid snap rods

Congrats Bob!!! I've been using 10# on mine for a few years now.

Nice seeing you Bob, I ended up with twelve and a 5lb blue cat I left right after I tried the mouth of the cove we fished. Several of the ones I cleaned looked like they went to the all you can eat shade buffet, they looked like they were going to pop. It was a nice day to be on the lake.
