I'm still having major knee problem and see the Surgeon on Thursday to deal with it, but today I said the heck with it. I could hurt at the house wishin I was fishin or just hurt while I was fishin. I also had a new Helix 7 SI to try out.
I started fishing at 6:15am and by 8am I had 26 in my cooler with the smallest being 10" and the largest 15" an they averaged 12-13" I caught them in 10' of water about 5' deep on minnows. After 8am I just road around playing with the Helix.
I tried a little experiment and it worked great, I fish with 2 poles and on one I put a Bobby Garland Slab Tickler above the hook and that pole was catching 2 to 1 over the other pole so I put one on the other pole and it equaled out!
