Love those hybrid gills . They can make you forget about shellcrackers.
Good video too !

That’s a nice bend in the new Daiwa! Nice gills and crappie too .
Including the little spotted sunfish.
Looks like you had a nice morning!
It got down to 53 this morning here , so I respooled...

No you didn’t !
Two ? :yikes
OUCH !
Good luck finding replacements.

Woke up to thunderstorms this morning.
My wife had PT at 11 so if I was lucky , maybe I could catch a break in the thunderstorms .
The rain slacked upas I dropped my wife off and I headed to the...

I didn’t want to come home ! LOL !
When we get to an area I fish to the left, my bud fishes the right .
The last spot we fished , my side was loaded with shellcracker. I invited my friend over to...

I couldn’t figure out why my right wrist was staying sore until one day after a five hour fishing trip , it got worse .
Thought has to be the twitching .
Before I twitched , I was a swimmer....

Met my fishing buddy this morning around ten .
Partly cloudy , low to mid 70’s to mid 80’s before we headed home. Complete with the normal (seems like ) 10-20 mph winds.
Water has cleared up...

Congrats Tim , I’m glad you like your new toys :) .
I like catching and fighting catfish , but not crazy about the way they slim up your line .
I’m meeting up with my fishing buddy tomorrow...

P-line Floroclear isn’t true Flurocarbon , it’s a copolymer coated with fluorocarbon.

I dropped my wife off at PT and headed back to Lake Kedron at noon for forty five minutes of casting my 5’ St Croix Avid ULM paired with a Shimano Soare BB500spg with a Nasci 500 spool and handle ....

I made two trips to lake Kedron this morning.
First trip was a little over an hour and a half and I took two rods .
A 4’10” Major Craft Finetail glass , paired with a Shimano Soare BB500spg ,...

Thanks Randy , for your insight on the subject.
I thought it was strange that some outfits seemed to handle the braid just fine , where others would exhibit the line slap .
I’m kinda weird in...

I’ve been playing with braid again for several months.
I love the advantage of being able to lift fish without worry of breaking off and being able to fish around cover .
But I don’t like the way...

Congrats Tim , glad it showed up early for you.
Wish I were there to see the bend when you properly slim it !

They are a little different! I thought I’d caught the same fish twice .

For a comparison, here’s the pics of both hybrids

I got in a couple of hours this morning at Lake McIntosh with my 4’10” Magor Craft Finetail glass rod paired with a Shimano Stradic 1000 and Daiwa braid .
I used a .5g tungsten jig and 1” Mister...

I admit I fell the hype .
All of this casting light lures ACCURATELY .
I used to use a baitcaster back when I targeted bass . I used them for crankbaits , buzzbaits and spinnerbaits.
Great tool...

:Rofl. I don’t know why I even try .
Maybe I should say bi-annual , because once or sometimes twice a year I’ll get out one of my , so designated, BFS combos and give it another try .
Today it was...

Great fish and pics !
Glad you figured out the issue .
I especially like the nice warmouth!

Hope you get Betty sorted out soon !
Looks like you had a good morning.
Was that Mr bowfin that paid you a visit ?
The little green sunfish has some pretty stripes .
I still can’t get over...

Yes , the last fish is a cracker/bluegill hybrid . Those hybrids fight like a cracker .
The second rod is my newest . The Major Craft 5’4” Finetail Mountain Stream rod . I’m liking it better than...

Forgot to mention.
This was a comparison trip to see which length rod I liked the most .
It was kinda inconclusive.
I liked fishing with all three . :)

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...

Congrats!

I thinking of gluing my 1” curly tails onto my tungsten jigheads .
They seem to get pulled down the hook more than trout magnets do .
Thinking of wrapping the shank with tying thread and adding a...

If I fish out of my boat , I’ll sometimes have a rod setup to do both . Maybe a float rig also .
Swimming used to be my go to method until I started fishing a Trout Magnet.
Pausing a swimming jig...

Just curious.
Do you primarily twitch your jigs or swim them back ?
I love twitching a trout magnet but recently I’ve been somewhat successful swimming a 1” curly tail.
I go through phases .

I received my new Major Craft Finetail X Mountain Stream 54UL rod late yesterday.
The package , this time , looked even worse than before .
Major. Raft must make durable rods , as both of mine...
