I could break it.

I tried it. I got a few bites. I decided it wasn’t worth taking a dedicated setup, bu you may find the exact opposite.

P Line direct. Nanofil always with leader. I start with a 6 foot leader and tie in new leader when it gets down to 24 inches or so

I did buy done 2 lb for Micro fishing, but 4 lb P Line CX Premium is as light as I go. Normally sling jigs on 6 lb Nanofil with 6 lb P Line leader. I've caught 1000's of trout on that set up, but I'm totally fine with guys doing whatever they want.

I got very interested after reading about FNF in BassMaster. I have Charlie a call and he talked to me quite a while. I had that kit and have restocked with Punisher jigs and some other DYI FNF jigs. I am perfectly Happy to use BPS FNF rods.

I have caught crappie on them

Really pretty Jig BTW

I like the FNF game, but I have had minimal success.

Excellent!

Who caught the first fish in the new boat?

I bet I know where the bass came from.

Has the Twinkie Zone been established for the new boat ?

That’s great Eric! Enjoy that sucker.

Who you got with you Eric?

Nope. I struggle with that on the creeks.

I concur. I can do down to top of C&R with my Jet with minimum flow, but that's it.

Good question. I assume 654 on mine, but YMMV.

I was wondering about the fishing. I would think the necessity to cover "X" number of miles a day negatively impacts fishing. Good Deal on the Gator Gar !

I'm sure the goose is tasty. I'm saying I'm glad I AM not on YOUR menu.

"So I shot him in the face" Gee Whiz, I'm glad I'm not a goose. Or on the menu.

14 degrees at 8 AM has its benefits

It was a Great day of fishing and camaraderie. I mostly managed to keep it off my mind that This would be my last fishing trip with John for a while. Distance made it tough as it was, but Maryland is a long way for a day trip. We literally left spots when we got tired of catching fish there. Crazy but true. I’m thrilled John caught that banded, but more than a little pissed I did not. It bit me twice, but I did not noticed my tiny little hook was all jacked up. Try try again I suppose. Marty is a force with his fly rod. Proud of him. He makes me want to use mine fly rods more, but the negative influence on me being able to catch fish discourages me. I am regretful that I did not take more pictures especially of John fishing or the classic stoic John with personal best fish. Loved the day. Thanks Felllas.

During my Louisiana days, long drives were required to fish smallies or Trout. 3 hours each way. The 3 hours there was filled with anticipation; the 3 hours back was filled with smiles and satisfaction (and exhaustion). Eventually, I moved closer.

I typically wait for the water to be Mid 40’s and on the increase before I start lake fishing. I am sure that you can go any day of the year and catch some fish, but I would rather go enjoy a day of trout catching then struggle to get a 1/2 dozen bites from bass in the lake. other ppl may feel exactly the opposite and that’s fine by me.

Or 12’s
