I’ve pretty much been long lining all summer. So I started to cast here at my house from shore. Have not done good here for a while. Just a small bass every now and again. That’s what happens by my house here during the heat. So today I decide to try our new sponsors 4lb test line and I got a thump, yay. Good sign for things to come I hope.
Here’s where I’m fishing. This is off my sea wall.

Awesome.
And here’s the specific line I used.

I’m not a fan of 4lb test line. It makes me worry too much. I like 6lb test line to go after the thump. To me there seems to be a big difference in capability just going from 4 to 6. You can pull out of stuff and even swing fish in the boat with six. Four pound test, not so much, imho.
But this worked good. Great feel of the thump. It actually was a nice fish and I was able to direct it around the pads. Then I swung it up my sea wall, no net. I was a tad worried, but for no reason. The line worked perfectly. And I could toss that mr crappie slab daddy a mile and a half (seemingly)!
Good deal. I think imma gonna like our new sponsors products. Cool.
