Nice catch!
Those are some big lures for panfish.
Love the wire leader .

I’ve always put a leader between the swivel and spinner of about 12” . Shorter seems to affect the lure’s action .

I visited the dock at a local reservoir again this evening.
The water is about four feet low .
I took my new Daiwa Tatula Lt 2000 and a five foot 13 Fishing ULF spinning rod loaded with SOS 2# . ...

I’m heading back to the dock this evening for another go at it . I’m going to concentrate my efforts on the end of the dock I finished up on yesterday.
Taking a new combo with me today . A 5’ 13...

Randy , luckily , I have a fishing buddy who feels the same way I do .
I’ll be watching for your video.
He’s a 4# UL guy , I’m trying to convince him he can get by with 2# , especially the SOS 2#...

I took a short scouting trip to a local water reservoir that only allows bank fishing for the public , from the maze of docks they have at the boat ramp .
I wanted to know if there was any shade ,...

Thanks , I think you mentioned that reservoir before .
I might be able to check it out by this fall .
Healthy looking gills !

Super nice gills !
Noticed you are north of me .
Are fishing ponds or a reservoir up there on the other side of the big A ?

The fishing has gotten tougher lately at the pond .
I hooked about ten fish today , six of them were small green fish of which four released themselves showing off their jumping ability :) . That’s...

Awesome pics of an awesome day of gill catching ! Thanks for sharing!

Just something we have to deal with in some ponds and lakes .
I believe at this pond , it’s all of the goose poop , I’m constantly having to watch where I step . With that and all of the runoff...

Yes it is !

I got to the pond this morning and the wind was in my favor , but within thirty minutes it shifted and the algae mats and pond slime shifted too .
I took my 5’ St Croix Premier UL moderate today ,...

I put todays trip report under this thread because the algae came into play .
With the wind this morning and the direction it was blowing, it blew the floating mats over to the side I prefer fishing...

Nice Crackers ! Thanks for sharing.

Congrats on the repair working .
And a Big Congrats on a fine day on the water .
Beautiful Fish !

With me ,it always +1 . LOL !
I can’t help it .
If you like a short 5’ ultralight rod . It’s a bargain IMO .
It doesn’t have a hook holder , but I can remember when rods didn’t come with them ....

Thanks Bob , I enjoy fishing with the little Rosewood UL rod .
I own rods costing four or five times what these do , but right now they’re gathering dust .
Fun little rods for just over $30 . ...

I got to spend a little more than an hour and half this morning at the town pond .
I think the fish took Sunday off .
I’d fished a variety of Trout magnets and Bobby garland baits for about an...

I made my daily trip up to the pond this morning.
I keep trying different combos , line weight , lures , etc.
Today it was my 5’ Rosewood Ultralight rod paired with my Shimano Ultegra 2000S ,...

Ever since my dad taught me how to cast and wind a pole, the panfish have been my favorite fish to chase .
Oh I’ve targeted many other species, including cold water trout to saltwater inshore fish...

I’m always amazed at the different coloration on gills out of the same waters . Beautiful!

WOW! Looks freaky !

Got to the pond a little after 10 this morning. Rough morning, didn’t sleep well last night .
Temp was 68 degrees on the RAV4’s dashboard.
Overcast skies and light winds . Should be a formula for...

Lester’s fish was caught on May 7 while he fished a bass tournament with long-time friend Whitey Hendrix. They were competing out of Burnt Fort...

Pretty fish Randy ! Nice !
You be careful out in that kind of heat for that long .

Got to visit the town pond again this morning. Got there a little after 9:30 and left at noon .
Water looked a lot better this morning, but two of the nine fish I caught today had sores on them ....

Fun way to spend your lunch break!

You’re a better man than I . That long would probably be over my limit these days , especially with the heat .
I wasn’t doubting your catch . I caught close to 200 myself a few years back , on a...
