Took the day off work yesterday and went fishing alone. Had a pretty good day. One really nice blue gill for my area, definitely the nicest one I've caught this year, maybe PB. Caught it on the Diawa presso air ags XUL on varivas lemon line.

This trip is really the first I've used the presso extensively, it's a nicer rod that I initially thought from playing around with it at my pond. A lot of the bites yesterday were really soft, think it helped having a sensitive rod. Even on the Carabus rods I was having to watch the tip for a little bit of a bend to tell it was a bite. Fish wanted the jig slow and deep just above the bottom.

Wife wants to have a fish fry so I was keeping a good many. Got a mix of bluegill, and crappie. Caught a couple yellow perch also but there them back.
