Rainy Evenings

Hit the water despite some rain the last few evenings. Gave the vintage gear a rest and broke out the modern gear: a Diawa Presso and Okuma Celilo with Legalis and Carbon-X reels respectively. These are quite a different feel from the older rigs (lighter, more nimble feeling and more sensitive). Same type gill and shell cracker action and kept me on my toes using the 3# braid on the Presso and the 2# poly on the Celilo. The fish didn't know the difference though!

Awesome catch rain or not! I feel the same way when switching from Fin Nor Ahab 1000 boat anchor to the Daiwa 13 certate 1003 and all of a sudden a 5" gill felt like giant..lol

Nice looking catches !

Nice catch

Rained nearly all day today. Did let up a little towards evening and I couldn't resist a few quick casts around 7 PM. About 10 casts in a fresh wind from the east yielded 5 hard hits from the some nice gills and shell crackers. There were no nibblers on the Eurotackle Anisoptera, only quick, hard, solid takes. This thing has been money lately.

That last guy has part of his tail missing but he still managed to put up a pretty good fight. The wind and rain got to be too much and I packed it in. I'm sure there were more to be caught.:(
