A test of sorts

This morning was sort of a test to see where my comfort level is going to be as colder weather approaches.
The weather today was Cloudy , 52 degrees, and windy when I arrived and 52 and windy when I left , after about two hours of fishing at the Town pond .
The wind according to my weather app was 14mph with gust over 25 . And most of the time it was gusty .
I gave up trying to twitch fish my jigs , so I added a float and finally caught a bluegill .
Best way I know of dealing with the wind .
I fished a 6’ Abu Garcia MB3 UL rod paired with a Shimano Frankenreel, A Soare BB 500spg body with a Nasci 500 spool and handle , spooled with 2# Floroclear.

Ended up with three bluegills to keep the skunk away .

The weather was tolerable, would have been nicer without so much wind and if the sun was out , but we have to deal what’s dealt us .

Nic catches. I almost put the boat in today but the sun was behind the clouds. Wife suggested to do Thanksgiving dinner tonight and fish tomorrow.



Regards

Good job getting out there and making it happen.

Sounds like a plan !

Looking like it’s going to be Friday before we get any sun around here .
Black Friday , Think I’ll do my shopping at the pond . :)

Good catches and a good way to beat the skunk!

I hope to get out in the morning myself. Morning fishing, Thanksgiving meal in the evening with family. What better way to have a holiday!

At least you kept the skunk at bay. Thanks for sharing and Happy Thanksgiving

A good day fishin. Glad you beat the skunk and stayed warm too. I had a hard time in Arkansas last week. Mighty chilly! Gettin old ain’t for sissies.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Good to have you back Tim .

Pretty fish!

TCold, cloudy and windy days are the worst. At least you found something that worked. I've been thinking about your frankenreel and wonder if my stradic washers under the spool will fit my Stella since they are about the same age. Apparently I lost one of the washers on the Stella and now the line doesn't spool evenly and has a slight v shape when spooling line. Going to try it and see. 34 here now with wind chill temp at 27 so think I will play inside today. Same tomorrow but with sunshine so probably try tomorrow.
