Town Pond visit 11-14-23

[gillchaser999]

Warn up to around sixty by eleven o’clock this morning , sunny , but very breezy . Gusts over 25 mph .
Made casting a light jig an issue , but I needed an outing .
The pond was over a foot low , we haven’t had a lot of rain in awhile, and leaves and pinestraw was all over one side of the pond .the better casting side , dealing with the wind .
It was a good two hours spent , with sixteen fish caught , three bass , four shellcracker, and nine bluegills.
A few were pretty good size .
I fished a 6’3” Abu Garcia MB3 paired with my Shimano Stradic 1000 FJ and two pound test Floroclear.
The Stradic is an old aluminum alloy framed one that weighs 7.5oz , but I didn’t notice the weight on this rod .
I’d gotten the Stradic out and cleaned it up and tuned it a little , mainly replaced the handle with one with very little play in it . Functioned perfectly for twitching hand tied jigs .
It has a sweet drag that I think Victor off of I_fish on YouTube would like . Nice loud clicks .
