• Jesup gave up some good fish

    Started off overcast with the full Moon providing a better pic then the absence of the Sun. Went to a area that produced last time out, but no one was home. The weather man called for wind to be out of the SE up to 18 mph, really didn't pick up til 9, but luck would have it, sent me to an area I've never considered in the past, sheltered somewhat from the wind & the rods started bending hard ...was some of the best size fish I've found on Jesup in a long time, 14 went 13" & a prize 14 1/2"er that might just be my PB for Jesup ... can't ever recall catching a 15"+ there....out in open water again, a lot of boats were on the banks, but several back at the ramp said catching was tough, a combo blue/white paddle tail 16th jig with a 32nd road runner trailer seen the most action & parrot color curly tail wasn't to shabby as well, left them biting & tried to throw back as many belly Buster's to do their thing, turned out 21 of the limit were males. Also wanted to pass along, needed a couple new spinning reels & found at Academy Shimono FX 1000, that are extremely smooth w/ good drag on sale for $20 each....tightlines all!!

      Those are some nice fish!! Never tried a Shimano, however now that you gave the pitch I’m going to try one.
