LittleRedFisherman Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Had some business to tend to today, but just in case I had time to try out my two new spinning rods, I threw them in the truck! As luck would have it, I got my stuff done and ran down to a friend of mine's place. I didn't take the temp, but i'd say the water temp was in the mid 30's. I'm trying out Nanofil for the first time, and getting used to the idea of tying leaders more. I tried my new Rage rod first which had a Ned tied on, caught the first fish there on the first cast! It was a slow bite, just felt weight and set the hook, between the Nano and the new rod, I could feel it breathe nearly. Made another cast, this time a little harder bite, set the hook and broke off at the knot.. Ham, I may need another alberto lesson..lol. I think it was the 6 pound I tied on was the problem, I got to aggressive setting the hook. The St Croix rage rod is very fast action, and it seems it very very fast to me, verdict still out on that for me, but it was very sensitive. I went to my Fenwick rod I found online at a deal, and caught another one on a Jennybug 3 inch grub. That was it after that, got nothing on the jerkbait, only fished about 20 minutes as the rain started pouring down. Felt good to make a few casts, hope to be on a river next week! Bret There's no such thing, as a bad day fishing!
Ham Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Lol, you did a lot better than me Bret. I had a major malfunction with my outboard and didn't get to fish a lick. I did get the foot off Muey jet and at a minimum I'll get the impeller off and file some of the nicks out of it and maybe get it shimed up. I'll be glad to show you that knot again. Hopefully, we can fish together soon. Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
grizwilson Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Ugly day here just relined and worked on stuff, at least you got bit. Ham, "major" malfunction does not sound good. g trythisonemv 1 “If a cluttered desk is a sign, of a cluttered mind, of what then, is an empty desk a sign?”- Albert Einstein

I bet, it's a safe to bet, that you were the only one on the water out there. Yes, I hope to get with you again soon. Don't wanna be a stranger, we have to much fun while fishing! Ugly day here just relined and worked on stuff, at least you got bit. Ham, "major" malfunction does not sound good. g Yeah, it felt good to get bit. My first two casts ever with a Ned were rather successful, impressed so far! It's a farm pond, but still impressive considering the temperature of the water today! Itching to head to the River again! There's no such thing, as a bad day fishing!
