Default Oh 12/5

Hit Old Hickory today since it was nice a sunny outside.....

Caught: yellow bass, white bass, striper, bluegill and tilapia in about 2hrs of fishing.

The magic bait today was a white trout magnet. Fished it on 2lb test and a split shot catching small striper (8-12") on about every cast. It was a blast. I'd cast...let is sink a bit....line would tick....the ML rod bends and then reel would scream. Wish I had taken my fly rod.

It's fun. Would have posted some pics but too much going on in the back ground.

It was a lot of fun even with the constant rain. I am a sucker for the smaller fish hitting every cast. Inside i know i should move but man...its so hard to.

What did the Tilapia hit on? I always thought those fish were vegans!

Those baby stripers fight like a 2 pound bluegill! Nice job on those fish!

Travis was using the vegetarian trout magnet. It's made from corn-based plastics, has no added filler, and is free of GMO's
