Slow days
This past week I’ve gone out for only a couple of hours in the evenings, 6-8 P.M. The best I could do was catch a few small bass and a couple of really nice cahnnel cats. The fish are reacting mainly to the small Yum crawdad on my flyrod, but these are small bass; the cats were about three lbs each ( fun). The wind has remained strong and I have missed a few bites and a few got off next to the boat due to poor hookups. I lost two because of the line breaking at the knot, a palomar knot. So, I’ve switched back to a double cinch knot. That knot breaks too but not as often. I have been retying the knot but I guess not frequently enough. I’m using 6 0 8 lb test so maybe I should go to a heavier line. I have also caught a few bluegill and crappie, but these fish are scattered and not reacting well to any lure. My miracle minnow yields nothing at this point except for the aforementioned. Well, tight lines to all you fishermen.
