Thread: First Panfish of the Year

I had a couple hours to fish my in-laws pond when I went to pick up the kids. Caught my first panfish of the year. Even caught a shell cracker! Nothing big but was was good to get out and actually experience fishing, rather than watching YouTube videos. I mainly used the Tict Icecube Rockin Finesse 69 paired with the Daiwa Presso Limited. I threw 0.5g Daiwa Geki..... jighead and various trout magnets. I even got to finally try out the Greenie Winnie. Thanks AH and VCM! Only found one taker on that color. Water was a little clear still. Look forward to trying them is more stained water and trout fishing.

I also broke out the Daiwa BBB telescopic rod and a Daiwa Freams 1000. It is a vastly different setup compare to the Tict and Presso Limited. But I will say that they pair up pretty good. I really like the Daiwa Freams for its value and its operation. Although it is not a Presso or Luvias, it is a really solid reel. Definitely the best $70 reel I have purchased. Managed to catch one small bass with a Whopper Plopper. First time I have used one. It felt good to feel a bite or two.
