    Default Shooting and Redbreast trip


    Went to the Shooting range with my brother this morning.
    Got to shoot my Ruger MarkIV 22/45’s and my Ruger Bisley Single Six for about an hour , had a lakeside snack of Vienna Sausages and cheese crackers and then got to fish about forty five minutes before making the two hour drive back home .
    My plan was to catch four or five on my 5’5” Daiwa Gekkabijin Ajing rod , paired with a Shimano Nasci 500 , then switch to my 4’10” Major Craft Finetail Glass rod paired with an older model Shimano Sienna 500 .
    I hooked six on the Ajing rod , landed four and switched rods .
    I landed eight including some pretty redbreast .
    I need to get down there and spend a few hours fishing there . There has to be some bigger ones in there .
    I think redbreast are second in line as far as putting up a good battle , next to shellcracker

    I haven’t shot my 22/45 since my father passed away in 2017. We used to shoot together behind their house. Nice colors on those catches.

    Those Ruger 22's are certainly a ton of fun. Can't have too many
    The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along

    I’ve got a Ruger semi to pick up today myself. They’re a lot of fun and dependable. And I agree on the fight rating on those fish. I’ve had a five inch redbreast try to take my rod out of my hand when he caught me napping.I quoted one a little while back that was 8”+ and was sure I had a cracker.

    I agree that the shellcracker is the hardest pulling bream unless the redbreast are in a river. River redbreast can pull
