Thread: Under the influence can

unquestionably yield to unsatisfactory results, many times wishing we had counted more sheep! Yesterday's action, even with dirt o' clock start-up, didn't produce my 1st single-pole/ultra-light/artificial-only "tap" until 30 minutes in. Still relatively new to this area(3rd trip), so I'm trying to add to my fav spots/possible lures. Recently added the day before to 2 lb Nano-braid(Thanks Skeet)...it is a true reward in my technique o' choice when coupled with 2 feet of flouro. Plenty of fruitless casting, but definitely worth the early-hour start/drive. Lure choice (colors/weight/length) was a lot more than normal, experiencing too many nice size, lost fish while using the micro-sized 1/48, 1/32 # 8,10's(even after opening hook a little). More success/boated fish came on 1/16 oz. #6's/4's along with finding 2 more spots while cold-casting.. More keeper-size fish than throwbacks that included this tug-o-war loser...23", 4.5 lb. channel cat Summing up the day's keepers included 2 slab copper-nose b/g, 14 crappie>14" 1.75 lbs, and the whiskered-girl(w/roe). Four break/bite off's(possibly gar), throwback b/g, crappie, one beautiful red-belly also made the activity list. Full sun w/low 90's made it a trip worth "toasting"! Also, had the fly rod although never waved the "magic wand".
Thanks for coming along, 'til next time/go get ya some.
