I put in at Shell Knob 39 bridge boat ramp at 10 am today, boat was stuck on trailer since it had been on trailer since November and had to back way in to get it to come free from trailer. So i get boat off trailer ( i was by myself) boat to dock and truck and trailer parked get to where i wanted to be and picked up my brand new first time out baitcaster reel and made 5 cast and the biggest birds nest i have ever seen appeared on the reel. So i get that mess all cleaned up and made 2 more cast and thought ok i got this, wrong 4 casts later and wham another beautiful birds nest and i thought well at least it was trilene and not that expensive stuff called braid. So i get my spinning reel and pole out and make a couple nice cast with my war eagle spinner bait ghost and that went for a ride without the line so i lost that also, the rest of the day was pretty much downhill, i threw everything i had and worked different bottoms threw to the bank threw parallel to the bank deeper water shallower water and nothing zip, didnt even need a clicker for the day. Only fish i saw on my sonar was in 30 to 60 FOW, but it was a beautiful day for the boat ride. Even lost a couple of NED's
