good day
good day
Went out today between fronts. Didn't catch anything. Didn't really care. It was just a nice day to be walking the banks and casting. A nice plus was I did not lose any tackle. The eagles did better. 2 out of 3, I believe. Tomorrow I will be trying a new bait casting reel. Should be interesting. Have not use one in about 4 decades. I foresee a few bird nests in my future.

Re: good day
When I go out, I usually take a baitcaster to throw ribbet frogs, and a couple fly rods... a four weight for small panfish flies, and a six weight for the larger bass flies.
With the fly rods especially, I usually don't worry if I don't catch fish every outing. Laying the flies in just perfect is a joy all it's own.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

I use Abu Garcia 6500's for cat fishing. I have a Zebco 888 for my kids or when my Dad goes. I like to fish, not pick out bird nests.

Re: good day
I hope the birds nests stay away. It's hard to master those, even with the newer types with settings.
Good fishing to you.

Re: good day
A trick learned long ago to help with birds nests... get yourself a very small crochet hook, and keep it in your tackle box or fishing gear. Comes in really handy for picking the birds nests apart. Another trick is to spin the spool backwards and then put light pressure on the line and pull forward as you work the line. I had to unravel hundreds as I learned to cast the baitcaster...
But I finally got it down pat...
