Fished with my fishing buddy today

[gillchaser999]

I met my fishing buddy this morning at West Point Reservoir , one of the more popular reservoirs in my state . Known more it’s crappie and bass fishing than it is for bluegills.
Our plan was to fish a few areas around the many boat ramps.
I took a couple of flyrods and a couple of UL combos , but never got the spinning rods out .
My buddy fished his old faithful 5’ Ugly Stik with a Fire Tiger Roostertail .
I caught 22 small gills total , including one small redbreast .
My buddy caught 16 including a few small bass .
About half our time spent was sitting at one of the many picnic tables taking breaks and solving the world’s problems and comparing aches and pains .
The drive was a little less than an hour and a half , but it was worth the drive .
Here’s one of my better gills and the primary rod I used today . A 6’7” fiberglass 3wt rod paired with a Sage reel , spooled with a 5wt WF line to load the rod better for the short casts I needed to make . Most were roll casts because of the trees around .
Fun day !
