Thread: Need heavier gear

Made it out for about an hour, the wind was horrible on my lite gear and only grabbed hand ties when I left. Kept 7 smallest was 1.3, biggest 1.13. Fish were there but to much wind when trying to watch the line on the fall, and the line is sideways. Mark lots of fish around the ledge, and continuously showed fish on the graph. Chartreuse,feather 1/64 16-25' water temp 53.2 in bay at my house, river 50.4, little color to parts of the lake, and fighting leaves. Had minnows last night to try and down rig them but a stray cat must of gotten hungry cause I had 0 in the bucket this morning. Going to get minnows in the morning before I head out, going to give them a valiant effort in the morning.

I tried, but the wind was still to much. Had to drop shot them in between the lulls in the wind.
