Thread: Saturday trip

My leave time got delayed this morning by a rain shower and the threat of another .
But , I was able to get to lake McIntosh a little after eleven and fished until 2pm .
Rods used today
4’6” St Croix Premier ULM , Shimano Soare s2000csspg
5’4” Major Craft Finetail Mountain Stream, Shimano Symetre 500
6’3” Abu Garcia MB3 , Shimano Stradic 1000
All spooled with Daiwa J braid and 3# Floroclear leader .
I started with the 4’6 SC with a .5g tungsten jig and 1” black curly tail.
Plan was to catch at least five fish , then switch rods .
I caught six, mostly small gills , including a fun little shellcracker that put a nice bend in the SC .
Next up was the new Major Craft , and moved to a new spot .
Turned out to be a good move . I caught three nice bluegills and a cracker/bluegill hybrid out of that spot .
Then the bite just died . I went back to the spot where I started , but nothing. I went a good forty five minutes without catching anything.
A swap to my Abu Garcia and a new location and I started catching small gills again. I caught about a dozen including a small green sunfish and a small green fish.
Mostly cloudy , occasionally a little wind and a little drizzle once , but not a bad day .
Best catches of the day .
