Thread: 2 short trips

Two short trips today ,
One this morning to the Town pond where I got to fish for about forty minutes with my 6’3” Abu Garcia Mass Beat and Trout magnets , before the rain ran me off the lake .
I only had a short time to fish anyways , as I had to be somewhere around noon .
Then this afternoon, I got to fish a local reservoir for almost an hour while my wife was getting her hair done.
I started off using my 4’6” Daiwa Trout X rod but switched to my Abu Garcia MB because the little Trout X felt way too short .
I was trying out the shorter rod to see if I wanted to order a 4’10” Major Craft glass rod .
I think I’ll stick with the rods in the 6’ to 7’ range .
At the pond I caught a small LM , and a pretty Bluegill . But lost another bigger bass.
At the reservoir, I caught two green sunfish, a small warmouth, and a medium sized bluegill .
But I also lost the biggest fish of the day , a nice bass that hit while jigging the riprap , ripped off about twenty yards or more line , jumped and threw the hook .
At least I got to see it .
The areas available to fish locally are heavily fished and so anything I catch is great .

Very nice looking catches !
