    Woke up to thunderstorms this morning.
    My wife had PT at 11 so if I was lucky , maybe I could catch a break in the thunderstorms .
    The rain slacked upas I dropped my wife off and I headed to the docks .

    Last night I kinda prepared for a quick fishing trip . Hoping for a gap in the rain .
    I spooled up a Daiwa Fuego lt1000 with 2# Floroclear and mounted it on my 4’6” Daiwa Trout X XUL .
    I tied up a couple of jigs using a size #14 Mustad Streamer hook and a 3mm tungsten bead and one wrap of black wooly booger chenille, that has a little flash in it .
    I slipped on an olive Mini Trout Magnet .

    My first cast was at 11:01 and my last was at 11:27 as I headed to the car , when the wind picked up and the bottom fell out about the time I reached my car.
    I caught twenty three that I unhooked , several others that got off as I was getting them in .
    They were small juvenile gills , but fun on the little Trout X rod .
    The little gills were eating up the mini magnet .
    I could cast about 20-25’ with the wind , but that was enough.
    I didn’t even know my total until I got to the car and counted my pictures I’d taken .
    That’s the only way I can keep up with my catch .

      lil gills went crazy for that trout magnet and that's so much fun. That's a lot of action in a short time and on an UL rod like that with everything light had to put a smile on your face. some folks won't appreciate this because of the size but it was a mini KABOOM to me.

      Plus you didn't have to clean anything!
