Solo Creek fishing

My fishing buddy is spending the week with his brothers and a couple of friends at Lake Martin over In Alabama. They meet up once a year and fish four or five days .
I took off solo this morning with a variety of rod/reel combos to a local creek below the old mill dam .
When I got there the deep pool was taken by a group by a group of bait fishermen.
I took a spot just below them and would cast upstream and twitch my Trout Magnet down stream.
Didn’t take long to catch a small little redbreast using my 5’6” UL Abu Garcia Mass Beat casting rod paired with a Zebco Omega Pro Z02 . My version of BFS . :)
I caught a nice ( for the creek) shellcracker on the casting outfit and lost something that felt a little bigger , before I swapped to a Daiwa Ajing 55UL and Daiwa Fuego Lt1000 combo .
This little rod cast nicely but felt stiff .
Then I remembered I had a 6’3” Abu Garcia MB travel rod in the car , so I put the Daiwa Fuego on the longer rod .
I know I’ve said before , but this is my favorite rod , I have three of them now .
Once I discovered this rod , I felt I needed to have a couple spares in case I broke one , while they are still available.
I could actually do away with all of my other rods and it wouldn’t bother me .
I feel this is the rod I’d been searching for .
I caught a beautiful redbreast before deciding to move to a local reservoir.
Creek fishing takes a toll on terminal tackle and after loosing four or five jigs , I thought it was time to leave .
At the reservoir I caught a couple of small green sunfish and a couple of small warmouth, and a dinky bass , on the 6’3” Abu Garcia MB III .
That’s what I like about this rod , it makes the dinks fun to catch , but will handle a nice fish if I need it to.
Small fish today but some pretty colors on them .

Great looking creek, and nice colors on those panfish.

Nice place to fish

My inner self was screaming at me all day that I needed to be taking advantage the perfect conditions we had here today. Glad you got out and found some peace and quiet and a few fish too. Your day was better than mine.

Beautiful fishing spot and fish to boot! Thanks for sharing

Nice location and some very pretty fish. Thanks for the walk along.
