Personal best Redbreast Sunfish.

[Alphahawk]

Been fighting vertigo for a week now...just won't go away. Did get out on the water yesterday to scout for beds up in the lake.....not a single bed was found.....not a single fish. Headed to the tail race to an old trusted spot...and it produced big time. Caught a lot of redbreast and bluegill..white bass and one 16 inch Smallie. Turned out to be a great day for quantity and pretty good quality. Lot of bluegill in the 8-8.5 inch range and same with the redbreast. My PB redbreast came in at exactly the 10 inch mark. Love catching those things....fight like a shell cracker. All fish caught on a Sow Bug or Bison colored Trout Magnet with a Daiwa Gekkabijin 1.5 gram jig head with #8 hook. Line was 2.3# test Varivas Ester Mono. Rods use were MegaBass ShoreLuck Limited 6' 8" UL and Fine Tail Banshee 6' 7" Area Trout Rod. Even though the Banshee is rated as a light action rod that rating means light action for an "Area" trout rod. The rod truly is an UL rod. Going to get back out when I can. If the vertigo does not let up I realize I may miss the spawn.......it really keeps you from doing much of anything.
