Thread: Full Moon

Full moon came up early this evening. I hit a new spot before sunset. It's a very small pond with an aeration fountain near the middle. Started out trying for bass with no luck. Switched to a TM under a float and caught a bunch of gills. Plan to hit this spot again once the tropical storm passes through.









Finished off the night with a small bass on my Abu Ambassadeur rod and reel combo. I had a bigger one on, but it jumped and got off. No pix, so it never happened.

Nice catches..... What are you tipping your jig with?

Berkley Gulp! Alive!® Maggots. Got the idea from someone on this forum.

Nice catch. Used a 5001c for a lot of years. Bearings got weak, gave it to my brother who took it for a clean and new bearings and it’s still cookin last I heard. Great reels, better drag.

I think with a little maintenance, those Abus will last for ever. Mine is from 1969. I got it off eBay. It was dirty and needed new lube and oil. But that's all I've had to do to it and it casts like a dream. I've added a larger, modern handle though.
