    Default Lost fish, and lost gear


    I'm back in the US! After getting a NY license, I went to a lake that I know has some nice bluegill fishing. Access to the side where I've observed nests was closed, so I was forced to fish on the tree and poison ivy infested side. Thankfully, the fishing was amazing. I lost a lot of jigs, and 2 crickhoppers to the trees, as the bluegill were nesting underneath. Unfortunately, using 2 lb line and an ultralight does not lend itself well to wrestling fish out of the fallen trees that were on the way from the nests to the shore. Lost a lot of fish, I'd estimate about 20, but I did land a nice few! Also got a crappie from the fallen tree, which was a surprise, but it came off about 6 inches from shore. I couldn't set the hook well because pulling in any direction would cross my line with a tree branch. Attachment 432988Attachment 432989Attachment 432990Attachment 432991Name:  20220726_150724.jpg

    Yes, sometimes the best are in the most difficult places. Ugh, hate poison ivy and tick infested undergrowth!
