90 minutes @ The Docks

I spent ninety minutes throwing micro jigs around the docks that are only about ten minutes from the house .
Nice , warm weather with a little wind to deal with . As always :)
I took a 4’6” Palms Quattro, paired with a Soare bb500 , and a 5’ Rosewood Tracker, paired with a Shimano Miravel c2000s .
After a few fish I decided I preferred the 5’ Rosewood , but wanted the smaller Soare bb500 reel . So I swapped reels and finished out the morning with the Rosewood/Soare combo . Both had Ande Tournament line on them .
Just didn’t like the bigger reel , even the longer handle felt weird to me . Oh well !

I caught a baker’s dozen, 13 assorted gills , bluegill, shellcracker, and redbreast juveniles. And a decent UL largemouth that I was surprised I was able to lift carefully and slowly by holding the line . Any movement from the bass would have broken me off .
I need to start taking my net that’s in the car with me .

Most of the swelling has gone down on the knuckle this morning, but still some discoloration and soreness reminding me of my incident yesterday.

I mostly had the docks to myself, except for a few non fisher people. I guess most of the fishermen have given up on the docks , with the poor fishing they’ve had lately .
Doesn’t bother me , I enjoy catching the little guys , especially since it’s so close to the house .

Gillchaser,
your fish have such a brilliant colors, best 90 minutes of the day.

take care

Good job. Yeah lifting that bass wouldn’t have taken much to break off.

Nice catch and good report and pictures

There’s a lot to be said for being close to home. I was spoiled with 3 ramps within 10 minutes of the house. Those fish look plenty good to me. Glad you got out.
