I use fluoro on all my rods except the topwater rod. It sinks so well that it will drag your baits under with it. Fluorocarbon is sensitive and durable but the real reason I use it is the invisibility factor. If you fish clear water I feel that it is the way to go. I have no confidence in a bait if it appears that there is rope tied to it. It may just be in my head but I think I get 3 bites to every 1 when comparing fluro to clear mono.

sunset in the North Bay. I was joking saying you know the fishing isn't great if I was taking time to snap a scenery picture. It's a shame the white bass weren't running to their full potential. I'd been telling Tommy about that and how he's never seen anything like that before. The water looks alive with the millions of white bass breaking the surface. As I'm sure you can tell, I have a soft spot in my heart for that place. I've been up there 10 times in the last 11 years and don't plan on stopping anytime soon.

16" largemouth off the pier

Hey Tommy and everyone else. I'm the buddy that Tommy went with. The weird thing about the fishing is that it was probably the worst week we have ever had up there as far as numbers of fish go. I really think the goby's are hurting the numbers of smallmouth that are in the lake. The size seems to be bigger than ever though and that is one good thing. Here are a couple more pics from the trip that I had on my phone.

Hey there Big Tom. We hit Yatesville every chance we get but I would like to give Dewey a try. I know it has some good fish but I can't seem to get a bite there. Does anyone out there fish it?
