Sunny, beautiful day
No wind where I was
high tide: 12:41 pm
Clear water
Air Temp: low 60's
Loc: SD
Started fishing about 12 pm with my trusty Shimano Stradic Ci4 3000 mounted on my Shimano Clarus 8' 6" med. fast. I selected this hardware with the posts shared by all you guys. Thanks for offering this information so freely.
I was fishing a Zoom fluke with a weedless #6 hook. I fished 2 hrs into my shift with no love. This 2 hrs did give me a chance to try different presentations. I tried bouncing and different rates of retrieve with no luck. Then I thought I'll try the bridge pilling, several casts with no results. Then I through on and it bounce off the pilling and go whack almost immediately on the drop. Exciting to hear all the Zzzzzzzz!!,(but I due tend to run light drag). I was enjoying the big bend in my Clarus and cranking my reel. As it got closer she was headed for the rocks. Darn! Well I just walked a little further down and got her loose. No measurement, but looked to be about 11-13 and about a pound.
Headed back to the truck throwing from the bank and spotted some structure. I thought this is what the guys are talking about. Tried it with a swim bait. 'Varied crank, crank pause, as I came into range of the structure got whacked again. This guy was only 7-8 inches. Both fish CPR.
Rather catch any fish than no fish!
Thanks for looking
