New Rod & Reel

I finally got to play with my new Shimano Curado with a 6-1/2 BPS Extreme
rod over the past weekend.

I was hooked after several play casts. I don't think I'll buy another
baitcaster.

The rod seemed nice also.....now I just have to wait till the last weekend
in June when the season opens to really have fun with them.

Dan, your going to love that combo!!

Where are you that the season is not open for a few weeks yet?

I'm in Ohio, but I do all my fishing up in Ontario, Canada where we have
a cottage.

Dan,

This past weekend I also just got a chance to get out with my new
Curado that I picked up over the winter. Things have been so busy at
work, and it seems like every weekend it has been raining, it was the
first time out this year. I spent more time baiting hooks for my 6yr
old than I did actually fishing. Lasted about 3 hours before the rain
moved back in. The family caught 3 LM and just missed a 4th. We
forgot the camera or I would post pictures.

I had not thrown a baitcaster in 10+ years. After about 3 tosses, I
was throwing spinner baits further than I ever did before with my
spinning rigs. I cannot wait to see how it performs when I get the
nerve to remove the brakes...

For the record, the missed fish was mine (about 8" - saw it, but did
not get it with in 5' of shore). My wife caught 2 (7" & 10"). The
6yr old won the "big fish" honors by landing a 15" - the biggest fish
of his life, and the last fish of the day.

Not bad for a lake more know for it's LARGE blue gill's than for its
Bass.

Sounds like a good day.

The 'fun' up there is that anything smaller than 12", you have to
release. We usually keep the 2-3 lbs. to eat, and release the bigger
boys. I got a 5# SM up there last year.

Lots of bluegill there also, but the best part is the perch hit like
little bass up there. Much more agressive than what I was used to as a
kid on Lake Erie.
