Thread: Fish of the Day

Fished my green sunfish hole this morning for a couple hours .
Weather was perfect. Low 60’s when I got there , 70’s when I left . Light breeze.
Took three rods to play with . All St Croix’s . A 6’ old model Trout series , an older model 6’ Premier, and a 5’6” 4piece Triumph travel rod . All UL’s .
Two reels ; a Carbon X 1000 and a 500 size . Two pound P-line on both .
Jigs were 1/64 and the body was Bobby Garland Itty Bitty SwimR in a few colors and I ended the trip with a black Trout Magnet body .
It seems the company that makes Bobby garland lures has decided to discontinue my favorite color , the Black Cricket . So, I’m trying others to find a substitute.
I wound up fishing with the 5’6” Travel rod for the bulk of my fishing . Just felt better . Perfect length for dropping into spaces between the rocks and pulling out a green sunfish or a warmouth. I paired it with the 500 Carbon X reel .
I caught sixteen including this one , my biggest of the day .
It came out of a space just large enough to slid him out .
