Thread: Chasing Gill at our Town pond

I got to spend an hour and a half this morning at the pond .
Got there around 10:30 and headed home at noon .
I changed up my choice of rod/reel combo today , opting to take my 7’ Daiwa Procyon UL paired with my Daiwa Legalis LT 1000 , loaded with 2# P-line .
A two piece rod that I can breakdown to carry in the RAV4.
The longer rod was nice . Before the wind picked up , I was almost doubling my cast from yesterday. But I was using a 1g jighead instead of the 1/64th I used yesterday. That helped .
Lure was the same , a Bobby Garland Itty Bitty slab Hunter .
On my first cast I got a couple of tail nippers. It was around cast five I hooked into a small redear that put a nice bend in the long rod .
I ended up only catching four gills , but the small LM bass gave me a lot of enjoyment. I think I was able to land six of them from 6-12” . Perfect UL fun fish .
I think I’ve found a new favorite plastic bait in the BG Itty Bitty slab Hunter .
