Thread: Double Cracker day #2

Spent a couple hours at the Town Pond this morning with my 6’ TFO T&P UL rod paired with my Shimano Miravel c2000s reel with 3# P-line Floroclear.
I thought the fishing was slow but I caught the same as I did yesterday.
Three small bass , a small bluegill, and a couple of Shellcrackers.
All on a 1g ball head jig and bison Trout Magnet .
Difference was it took me over two hours today .

As soon as I got home , I stripped off the 3# line and replaced it with 2# .
I find that once I experienced casting and fishing with 2# line , it’s hard to go back to heavier line .
The last half hour I swapped rods , to a 6’3” Abu Garcia Mass Beat 3 rod , just to see if the rod made any difference. None that could tell . Distance still wasn’t there and that’s with 1g jighead .
I included a pic of the visitor I had while I was sitting on my fishing stool just above him .
I know it’s only a banded water snake . A lot of folks that walk at the park think they’re copperheads .
