I bet it was wonderful watching the woods come to life though. Did you guys see anything interesting while waiting for the Thunder Chickens?
-
I'm more than a little jealous of the folks fishing today. Gonna be shorts and flip flops later in the day. Looks like a day made for fishing finesse stuff. The wind is gonna blow a little bit, but don't let it get you down. I'm not hating though. I had my time off and we did our deal. I'll be working for the next few days and honestly don't know when I will get to fish again. I look forward to reading how yall did.
-
I hope the MRs is able to get one soon.

I used to take my son when he was under 16. Especially if the water is a little off color you can go with something larger and use 10 lb straight mono as a leader. Long fancy casts aren't necessary and often not possible. Gonna mostly be roll casts. Bring a big freaking net.
-
No doubt, but as a leader in 6, 8, and 10 lb. its ok. You have to be careful with your knots though.
-
Having seen multiple rec areas around the lake I can't imagine it being 10 feet high without hurting a lot of people's feelings, Lol. Bull coming up 15 foot and its business as usual.
-
I loved the way it cast and went on the reel, but I couldn't go near a rock without it being all shredded from the bait up about 6 inches. I drag my Ned thru the jungle and Red Label and P Line CX Premium do pretty well. I check it from time to time.
-
We had a pile of Channel Cats too. They were all nice ones too, but for whatever reason I didnt get any pictures of them.
-
Invis X has the abrashion resistance of wet toilet paper. I can not imagine how you guys are getting away with dragging the Ned thru the battlefield and not breaking off on every hookset.

Or you might just be touched in the head

Oops

The photo doesn't capture the subtle metallic sheen with purple undertones well. This was a pretty goo. We caught them everyday except Sunday maybe. We had 6 one day and 7 another day and multiples on Wed and Thursday. Ned mostly.

there was the occasional LMB

. I thought it looked like a travel trailer sorta
-
. First blue cat on the Ned for me.
-
. Big Girl of the trip

Awwww Sucks
-
. The grub still has a place.
-
Lol, I was told I HAD to use 4 lb line to get very many bites on the Zig Jig.
-
And catching 20 AIN'T a BAD day. Years of fishing the spillway in Louisiana makes me appreciate catching more than a handful of fish and I always WANT to catch more than I am.
-
I'm slowly learning not to beat myself up when I don't really whack em. You can only catch the ones that bite and more and more I believe that a lot of times you are on the fish, they just are not active. I've seen it multiple times now where I was grinding in an area with nothing to show for it, and a weather change happens and I catch a pile of them in a hurry. I would guess that the weather has that part of the lake fishing a little slower.
-
The key word there is YET.
-
I know right? If he ever tried Nano, he's see it has the advantages or braid yet out throws mono. Starting to think a quality mono is better leader material than fluro. Don't worry about losing a few fish when you are catching so many. It stands to reason that if you are catching lots of fish, you are bound to have a get off every now and again. It you are only catch a handful of fish and you lose a big one, that really sucks.
-
They "adjusted" the pool to say it's a summer seasonal pool of 659. That's lets them run more water for trout during the summer and make a little ,Money too, but I consider it 14 foot high

[quote name="Quillback" post="390720" timestamp="142987531 Did you throw the Ned at them?
