I spent the morning catching drag pulling shell cracker.....and a few bass.... nuisance fish....LOL. A lot of fun using a Bison colored Trout Magnet and 2# test line. Used a 1/24 ounce jig head twitching along bare bottom in 5-8 feet of water when I could find the holes in the milfoil. The rod today was a Mega Bass Shoreluck Limited 6' 9" solid tip. First time I've used this rod even though I have had it for 8 months. It just looked too good to use. It did not disappoint. The rod is extremely sensitive and very crisp...great for Gills and shell cracker but probably not so good for crappie. This may be my last day of bank fishing for a while. I will certainly still fish the banks from time to time as it has taken me years to find those spots. Driving down to Florida in the morning to get new boat. Hopefully it will be rigged with electronics over the Labor Day weekend. Using the Trout Magnet out of a boat...a game changer. Life is good!
Safe travels Randy. Are you going to do any fishing while you're down there? Maybe christen the new boat with some Painted Gills?
Thanks Jeremy......Didn't have time to get any fishing in. Having my boat rigged this weekend so had to get back. Here are some pics when I stopped for lunch.
One more time from the bank.
Uummmm !! <'TK><
