    Default A test of sorts


    This morning was sort of a test to see where my comfort level is going to be as colder weather approaches.
    The weather today was Cloudy , 52 degrees, and windy when I arrived and 52 and windy when I left , after about two hours of fishing at the Town pond .
    The wind according to my weather app was 14mph with gust over 25 . And most of the time it was gusty .
    I gave up trying to twitch fish my jigs , so I added a float and finally caught a bluegill .
    Best way I know of dealing with the wind .
    I fished a 6’ Abu Garcia MB3 UL rod paired with a Shimano Frankenreel, A Soare BB 500spg body with a Nasci 500 spool and handle , spooled with 2# Floroclear.

    Ended up with three bluegills to keep the skunk away .

    The weather was tolerable, would have been nicer without so much wind and if the sun was out , but we have to deal what’s dealt us .

    Nic catches. I almost put the boat in today but the sun was behind the clouds. Wife suggested to do Thanksgiving dinner tonight and fish tomorrow.

    Sounds like a plan !

    Looking like it’s going to be Friday before we get any sun around here .

    Good catches and a good way to beat the skunk!

    I hope to get out in the morning myself. Morning fishing, Thanksgiving meal in the evening with family. What better way to have a holiday!
    Catch all you can when you can!
