I went back to the town pond this afternoon.
Got there around 3:30 and fished until the clouds rolled in after five and the cool breeze on the back of my neck made it too cold for this old man :) . Even though the temp was in the mid fifties.
I changed my rod and reel combo to a 6’ St Croix Panfish ULF paired with my old Shimano Stradic 1000 FJ , spooled with 4# Original P-Line .
I fished the mini drop shot rig , but instead of a 1/80th woolybooger jig , I used one of my unweighted Panfish flies that resembles a tiny spider .
It didn’t take but about 4-5 casts to get rid of the skunk .
Wound up catching four gills , and one small LM about 10-11” .
I’m really enjoying fishing the drop shot .
The concentration needed and the anticipation of the thump , is addictive.
