I have been flyfishing with my son in law the last few days so no testing yet....
The plan is to give it a fit this week and I will post results good or not so good

Thanks for the heads up. I may be a little slow on the uptake, but I am darn sure coachable!
BTW, your coach has got that program headed in the right direction....could well be a heck of a game.

After seeing the pictures Richy posted of his swim bait fish, I decided to give it a go.
I am going to be at TR for the next 10 days and plan to give all three of these a substantial dunking. The plan is to throw them on 15 mono (my go to top water setup....)
I hope there are some good results to post.

Jerry, I bet your a frugal golfer too. Tell us about the golfclubs and golfballs you use......no brand names please. I'm sure there are cheaper ways to play that sport too.
I hear there are places that sell old clubs and golfballs by the pound.
The fish were suspended 20' to 25' over 50' to 80' and several bites came on the fall. It seems like a good plan to watch the line and keep in contact with the lure on the fall. This definitely a finesse deal.
Left State Park Marina shortly after 7 this morning looking for suspended fish to throw the spybait. Bite was pretty good early then really slowed. I got off the water at 2.
Caught 11- all spots with 4 keepers. Even the short fish were pretty chunky.
They continue to bump it once or twice then load up on the lure. Even trying to be more patient and let it load, I missed several good bites. I am warming up to replacing the hooks with some Deathtraps to see if it will help with hookups.
I plan to have one tied on during the jerkbait season to spice things up.

Thanks for the great day of fishing and companionship! I had a blast. I guess we were two old goats in the boat......lol
If there ever is a spinnerbait throw down, put your money on Champ 188.
With the risk of firing up the deep water off shore sonar wizards, beating the bank like Champ can make your day.....lol
No expiration date on gear. Heck, some of those old relics are still serviceable. I still have a couple of 1962 Shakespeare 5' rods but I'm pretty sure my new rods are better. My old Mitchells are collectable but I like my new Lews better. ?
Seems to me that for a serious fisherman to use what might be sub par line, sub par lures, outdated rods and reels etc is a lot like driving on the highway on "may pop" tires.
If its the best ya got, God bless, just don't throw rocks at those that have good tires or better fishin gear ?
