Terrible, it was hot and no rain all summer. All my regular ponds are so low there’s no shore line cover to cast to. Water quality had to be bad. Sure looked terrible. I caught some, but all skinny fish. Hoping for a wet winter and spring.

That was a great read. Thanks.

That’s awesome. and no.

Nice, what are you throwing on it.

I forgot I have a shell cracker. I’ll have to dig that sucker out. You’ll want to put in your order for a ms slammer now so you have it for spring lol. jeez I can see how this gets out of control fast.

That’s so true. The anticipation and hook set are so much more exciting even though it’s just another 3 pounder. I’m ok with that. also the six and eight inch mag drafts are affordable and catch fish.

We’ll I catch allot more 3 pounders. You already have a rod on the way. So order your reel and a spro ray 50 in the morning dawn color. the thing looks ridiculous, but catches fish. it’s fun.

Well, it swims pretty good. Would definitely be better with some smaller up top. I knew the bade wasn’t gonna spin. It flutters like I thought it would. Threw it for a bit today. Caught a couple of these.

Not yet, that’s a great size.

Thant’s awesome

Lol

That’s interesting facing the other hook down. If I put it up it will definitely catch a lot of crap. I’ll probably use it once it will get wrecked and I’ll move on.

They get pretty bent up on the main bait sometimes

That’s pretty much what I was thinking They get pretty bent up on the main bait sometimes

So I figured I’ll play. Lots of room to mess around here. Love to hear who’s already tried this. Might not work we’ll see

I thought we were talking big stripers in a tidal situation. Yeah , any reel will be fine.

Feels better in my hand for big hooksets

For what you want to do I would use the currado k. It a workhouse, in 3/4 ounce range and holds more then enough 40 pound braid. I like the k better for jig fishing the the mgl. That’s just my opinion though.

Thats so hard to believe. What a bummer.

There pretty good, like most of the xzone stuff I’ve tried.

I bought one when I got my first casting reel. I used it out in the parking lot at BPS soon as I left the store. Made two casts, then went back in had the guy cut the line out and re spool it for me. I don’t often tell that story. good times.

Slow for sure.

I’m shallow on the bank. So mostly 3/8’s.

All that sounds fine

A good spinnerbait bite is a fine day. Like throwing a grappling hook into traffic on the freeway.
