Fished with my fishing buddy today
I met my fishing buddy this morning at West Point Reservoir , one of the more popular reservoirs in my state . Known more it’s crappie and bass fishing than it is for bluegills.
Our plan was to fish a few areas around the many boat ramps.
I took a couple of flyrods and a couple of UL combos , but never got the spinning rods out .
My buddy fished his old faithful 5’ Ugly Stik with a Fire Tiger Roostertail .
I caught 22 small gills total , including one small redbreast .
My buddy caught 16 including a few small bass .
About half our time spent was sitting at one of the many picnic tables taking breaks and solving the world’s problems and comparing aches and pains :Rofl .
The drive was a little less than an hour and a half , but it was worth the drive .
Here’s one of my better gills and the primary rod I used today . A 6’7” fiberglass 3wt rod paired with a Sage reel , spooled with a 5wt WF line to load the rod better for the short casts I needed to make . Most were roll casts because of the trees around .
Fun day !

6-27-22 West Point with my buddy
Met up with my fishing buddy at West Point Reservoir this morning and spent about four hours catching little gills on my 1wt flyrod.
Showed my friend my technique for catching green sunfish and he caught about twenty five .
I finished the day with 55 gills and green sunfish total .
These were the best of the day .
