Today was a bust !
I had better luck yesterday at our town pond .
I fished my ties , lost two of them when I set the hook into what I think was something wood . Felt like a tap . .
After a couple hours of throwing hand tied jigs , I switched to a 1” Gulp minnow on a 1/64 jighead and then finally tried a trout magnet on a 1/64 . Nothing !
Not even a nibble .
Weather was warm for this time of year. Mid 60’s but cloudy .
Fun day of fishing , terrible day of catching.
I did accomplish a couple of things I wanted to find out .
My 7’ Procyon doesn’t cast a 1/64 jig any farther than my 5’4” St. Croix Panfish rod . Both had similar 1000 reels with same SOS 2# line .
I think I’ve finally found a rod for casting jigs that I could call a favorite. The 5’4” SC Panfish . A fast action , sensitive rod that a joy to fish for several hours without wearing me out .
