Went to bro-in-law's place today to wet a hook in his ½ acre farm pond.
Weather was mostly cloudy, high about 60º, winds light. He decided to fish with me today, and headed to a different pond, on his neighbor's property, cause it is actually closer to his house. These two ponds are very similar in size, depth, cover, and surrounding trees. I quickly picked up two bass about 1½ lbs each, and one short. We decided to move to the other pond because they were biting and he wanted some for dinner, but had not asked his neighbor about keeping fish. We fished for about 2 hours without a nibble, trying several different baits and presentations. Walking back to the house, we detoured to the first pond. 15 minutes gave me 2 more, about 1½ lbs. Go figure. BTW, all fish were caught on 4" Culprit red shad curl tail worms, on Gammy wide gap red hooks, with Cajun Red cast 10# line. I posted a while back on this line, and I'm still impressed with its castability. I never re-tied, landing 5 fish and losing another through lots of tree limbs in the water, and it still didn't seem to be nicked up, even though the Gammy hook lost some of its color. No signs of line memory yet either. I think I like this line. |

Cajun Red cast 10# line. I posted a while
back on this line, and I'm still impressed with its castability. I never re-tied, I used that line some but it seemed to get weak real fast - maybe from being in the sun on my boat deck. Is yours exposed to the sun much. The spools seem to weaken, too, but they were in a compartment in my boat and got real hot all summer. Ronnie http://fishing.about.com |

I have read complaints elsewhere about heat damage on this line. I think before summer I may move my rods indoors. Thanks for the heads up! |
