Met up with my fishing buddy today just before noon and we fished until 4:30 , at three different locations at the reservoir.
I took several combos , but used my 5’8” Major Craft Aji do Ajing U
Rod most of the time .
A 4mm Tungsten bead jig made using a size 12 streamer hook in dark olive oil.
I could get by with a small flybox of jigs and leave the rest of my lures at home .
Although I like fishing other lures , I love micro jig fishing .
The weather was nice , sunny low seventies , and of course we had wind .
I’ve decided to quit complaining about the wind and just deal with it. There’s nothing I can do about it, I’ve just need to learn to fish during it .
I finished up with seven gills , five green sunfish, and a couple of nice , fat Ultralight spotted bass on 2# Floroclear line . The bass were a blast on the Aji do with several nice drag clicking runs with my Shimano Soare bb 500spg .
My buddy ended up with twelve assorted gills total .
I glad to see a few bluegills starting to show up in the shallows as well as the spotted bass .
