Weekly Meetup 8-8-23

Met up with my fishing friend at one of our favorite boat ramps at West Point Reservoir around 10 this morning.
Water was down a couple feet below full pool .
Most of my fishing today was with my 5’6” St Croix Triumph ULF two piece , paired up with a Shimano 18 Soare BB c2000sspg , spooled with 2# Floroclear.
The only lure I used was a .4g micro spinner .
I caught 36 total fish today , most were small bluegills or green sunfish, but I caught three shellcracker, two of them were nice size and gave an awesome battle on the SC UL .
I also caught a nice redbreast hybrid that fought pretty good .
My friend caught 22, most on his 5’9” 2wt flyrod .
We fished a little over three hours before the heat and humidity got to us.
It’s always good to get together with friends chasing panfish.

58 combined is a great outing! :yikes. Thanks for sharing this

Sounds like a super fun time shared with a friend. Nice pics

Nice looking fish! Got to love the weekly meetup.

Nice catches, sounds like the fish kept Y'all busy !

Mighty fine catches

Baby Crackers! That was a fun day. I wish I’d done some of that myself. Love the crackers and I never get to see the smalls.

Real nice. Thanks for the take along!

The two with the rod were in the 8-10” range , one on the boat ramp was about 6” .

I measured my rod to get an idea of the length of this one and it was right at 10” .
A pretty good one around here .
