Fattie caught while

fishin' SKINNY!. Made a trip yesterday with single-pole castin' on my to-do list. Caught an OK mess o' good-size Specks while castin' 5' u/l spinning w/1000 size reel with plastic 1/16~32 oz. artificials with 2lb. braid. Popular lure was a 1.5" Black/Chartreuse tube. The definitive trophy was this stubborn, beautifully-colored male coppernose b/g that was extremely boat-shy! My nicest in years on that type tackle...a flyrod would have been the Ultimate.

Great report!

Good day fishing when those show up. Glad you found them and hopefully he has cousins. And wait til the crackers come along when they’re done spawning. And it’s just beginning…….
