Thread: It was a Premier kind of Day :)

Weather, HOT ! But there was a breeze 7-9mph blowing straight in toward me trying to cast .
Kept me from overheating, but drastically cut down on my casting distance.
I fished Lake McIntosh this morning for about an hour and a half .
I took three rods , all three were St Croix Premier ULF , two 5’6” and a 6’ footer .
Reels were a Carbon X 1000s , a carbon X 500 , and a Shimano Soare bb 500spg . The 1000s had white KastKing Silky8 6# braid , and the other two had Daiwa J Braid X8 in moss green .
I love my SC Premiers !
Still testing braid and jigs . I started off using a #10 streamer hook with tungsten 4.6mm bead , but switched to a Trout Magnet 1/64 jighead when I discovered I was getting about 10’ farther with my casts .
The little crappies were back and I caught 17 and on a 1/32 TM head and black TM , caught my only gill for the day. Most were caught on Bobby Garland Itty Bit Swim’rs .
Upper 90’s predicted for next week . Mid 70’s for lows at night . Dog days have come early.
