• Fiscal Year Fish

    July 1st, the beginning of the new fiscal year for the bean counters, and I can say that because my wife is one and she is busy as two beavers building a bonfire. With the day off, I employed a new rod, a couple old reliable ones and headed to the big pond for some deep water probing and maybe fire a jig at a dock or two before it got hot.
    ?
    New stick, going to try it as a dock shooter, hear good things about the action so let’s get it slimed.

    It works, actually works well. I caught several on the new stick and even switched back to my normal jig flinger to make a comparison.

    These two rods will be my go to for docks from now on. I did probe a few deep spots, 20+ ft, and found some home there also.
    ?
    Monkey Milk, Blue Ice, and another glittery Bobby Garland Baby Shad proved to be the bait of choice, and Lite Wire hooks were definitely needed. The new rod got its share of slime, a great way break it in.

    A good livewell full came home for the knife and freezer. Happy New Fiscal Year, and be safe out there.

      Those BG Baby Shad baits are hard to beat. They work when all else fails.
