    Default Catching pigs!


    My friend James that took me out in his boat to Laurel Hill on Wednesday took me out again today. We had two hours of mayhem!. Many times doubling up and only had one net...LOL. A fun two hours of listening to the drags singing using 2# test SOS line. Both of us had 2 rods...one rigged with a Bison Trout Magnet and one rigged with Black/Green Trout Magnet. It didn't really matter. James has become very proficient at using the Trout Magnet and is a great sportsman.....many thanks to him for taking me out as I am bank bound for a while. Looking forward to more trips with him. We found the fish and they were willing to bite. Caught more shell crackers today than Gills...which didn't bother me. Didn't keep count but it was a fish on almost every cast. Some of the fish are still in spawning colors...really pretty. Life is good!

    Thanks....Yeah in the post...2# test line. Also using a Japanese made rod....TICT Rockin' Drift Ice Cube 6' 9" Mebaru UL with a tip that is only 9/10 of a millimeter diameter. Don't want to dead lift a big Gill with that rod.
