Pond or Docks ?
I’m fairly sure I could have caught more and probably bigger at the pond today , but I’ve been checking the docks for the gills to move back in .
I didn’t get the chance to check out the docks yesterday evening after catching a couple small bass just after noon .
The low temp last night was around fifty , so I was hoping if anything moved in yesterday stayed overnight.
Got to the docks around 11:30 , sunny and almost 70 . But with a gusty wind blowing straight in on the docks .
Since I planned on fishing the water between the dock and shore , the wind wouldn’t a big factor with it at my back .
I fished a little over an hour with a 5’ Major Craft Aji Do rod with a KastKing Zephyr SFS 1000 reel and 2# Floroclear . A size 12 , 3.8mm tungsten bead handtied jig in dark olive .
I used the KK SFS reel because after checking my distance casting experiment last year , the Spin Finesse System KastKing consistently casts farther than any of my other reels .
I also noticed the combo with the KK felt more sensitive. Probably from the graphite content of the reel frame and foot .
Ended up with four gills and a small bass .
If the overnight temperatures stay near fifty and above, I’ll be doubling that in a couple of weeks.
Hopefully.

That’s a good looking combo too. I see those reels on the sites and just don’t pull the trigger. Good to know the sensitivity doesn’t take a hit with the lower priced reels. I’m thinking that bass was near a handful.

Interesting reel choice. I've had my eye on the same one because of it's light weight and shallow spool. Will have to give it a shot if it goes on sale sometime.Originally Posted by gillchaser999
Good call on the rod, btw. Clearly you are a gentleman of refined taste.

Finally warming here to the 70s each day for a 6 day stretch this coming week. We might check out a friends pond! Yay
