Thread: I was prepared today

I chose the right tool for the job .
The right combo for float fishing , that is .
A 6’6” St Croix Avid LF , paired with an older model Shimano Sahara 1000fd , spooled with 3# Floroclear .
The light action rod still gave me a fun battle with the gills , but with the 3# Floroclear and the extra backbone in the lower part of the rod , gave me the leverage I needed to lift the fish over the weeds and up the five foot high banks .
I caught a baker’s dozen bluegills and a small LM bass .
Enjoying the float fishing for a change.
Took a couple boxes of jigs but used the same jig the entire hour and a half .
Lot of fun in those boxes .
