Whole lotta Breamin' Goin' on

Emalie wanted to go jogging last night so we went to Coppell for about an hour. While she worked on her buns of steel I caught a few gills...

A few weeks ago I went fishing with Austin and his grandfather at Texoma and caught my first Small Mouth. Pic by Pondbass.

Heading out east, down south, far north and wayyyyy far west in the very near future.

  5. Love your blog! What weight rod are using to catch those gills?

  6. @ Neal: Thank you! I am using a a very fast 6 wt. I use it for distance, jigging, beating the wind and throwing sinking and floating lines. It is light enough that a big bluegill is still alot of fun, but it has enough backbone to play a bass. I fish places where I can catch a half dozen species in a day and I find a 6 wt to be the most versatile. I hate carrying alot of stuff aroudn when I fish, so I usually have just the one rod. I also have a clouser 8 wt with an intermediate sink line, that serves as my big bass/ deep water rod.
