What’s up with the wind lately. Swirling and gusty today . I had to hide behind the bridge again .
Getting down into the 40’s last night didn’t help the bite either.
Took my replacement 5’4” SC Trout Series paired with a Daiwa Legalis LT 1000 , spooled with SOS 2# .
I tried a 1/80 woolybooger jig on the drop shot without a nibble . Switched to a chartreuse variegated spider and on the third cast caught a decent redear but I tried to hold him with the fly to take a picture and before I could get my phone out , it flipped off , one flop on the bank , and right back into the pond .
Ten minutes later I caught a small LM bass with a good bit of line out and it wrapped me twice on the bridge posts and the SOS held up to let me drag him out .
Checked the line , and definitely had to retie .
Then hit a dry spell . Tried a couple of lures including a Bitsy minnow , but no luck until I went back with the drop shot with a yellow/orange spider and caught my third fish of the trip.
Three fish in about a 1 1/2 hours fishing. Beats a skunk .
