The beat goes on @ LP (04 25 18)

Pretty much the same thing as the last couple of outings. Was going to fish for Redear, based on pranksters report, but CNBGs had other ideas. All fish CPRd - using 2lb test, JDM gear, chub belly spinner jigs tipped with crickets. Water 66 - 67 F. Mostly trolling 12 to 22 FOW. Running over submerged hills with stick ups. Had to stop, back up, and wait for fish to swim out of the structure on a few of these fish. Most retying I've done in along time....

Very nice Sonny. I'd like to try one of the rods you speak of before I would pull the trigger on one. You have my interest. I use some light and ultra light rods but way cheap. I go to a shop and handle some rods and just can't find the one that speaks to me. A St. Croix 7ul2 felt OK but not quite there. The 66lf so far is the Holy Grail, and hard to find like chicken lips. One day.......

Thnx Tim

If I wasn't using these rods - would be using the St. Croix panfishing rods. I like the one piece. GLoomis makes some nice rods but the tips are too thick.

Another stack of fine gills! Your killin them! They are some of the best lookin gills I have seen!
