Got out at 6am yesterday and had a great day. PB and what I'll call a career day. Didn't catch anything until 8:30am. They were biting, but a real quick bite. Quickly realized that I had to set immediately. At 8:30am caught a 5 and then the next cast caught a 7 PB. 10 casts later caught a 4 and then not more than a few casts later foul hooked a 4lb catfish.
Unfortunately, my baitcaster ran out of line. It was strange the line kept coming up broken??? I had to pull out my back up zebco I keep for my guests. I latched on to a 12 and wrestled her all the way in got several jumps and shakes and even had her to the boat on several occasions. I normally have a buddy to help net, but this time I was out on my own. Couldn't quite get the net down and boom line snapped in the middle. Got way too quick with the hustle and should have been more patient. Lesson learned, going to Academy to replace line and will get back out tomorrow.
Used wacky worm all day. Best 5 - 22 pounds! I'll post some pictures once I get them off the camera. Good timing for the fish fry I had planned for today! I was getting worried their for a second I was going to have to buy the fish. Don't want to have to do that!
Btw, long time reader, but yet to make a post.
