• Finally Some Fishing Time

    I am not a Fall fisherman, never have been. When the Fall semester starts up at work it is very busy and add the fading daylight with hot dry weather, I do not get the chance to fish as much as I would like. A quick trip up to VA to see the grand babies always includes the possibility of time to wet a line, and that I did yesterday before they woke up and started asking for me.

    ?Gills and Red Ears and all their hybrid offspring we’re up first. I employed the Olympic GraphiteLeader Corto 6.10 this weekend with the 3lb Sunline Ester on the Diawa Presso Ltd, their smallest model designed for Trout. This combination has become my go to for this small lake/pond. I do think the new Majorcraft 6.3 Finetail SUL that Alphahawk has been using would be more suited because the possibility of hooking a large fish is pretty much nil as most if not all of the fish in this body of water are stunted and in dire need of removal. That’s a whole other ball of wax though. I did tangle with some Specks and Green Carp, fun, but not the fight of the Gills and Ears.

    It was hot/dry up there like it has been in E TN. Hopefully that will change next week and Fall will be finally here.

      Gills have so many colors and all are fun to catch, big and small ones. Congrats on your water time.

      Good fishing there. I got out this evening due to no church tonight and had a blast with the crappie and bream. I met a friend of mine on the way to the lake, he was going home from the lake, he called me and the first thing he said was your wasting your time. Well not so, I caught the trifecta, bream, crappie and bass, and numbers of each. Love fall fishing.

      Later...etex
