Work's been a bear for the last 4 months and I haven't had many chances to hit the water. Finally got out for a bit today. Got the chance to try out my new stuff too. I picked up a St. Croix rod and Pflueger President reel a couple weeks ago. Talk about smooth.
Only thing I caught was a beautiful 10" leaf bass, but man was it nice to get out there for a couple hours.

Always nice to get out on the water. Is the President a spinner or a baitcaster? My wife just bought me a new Ambassadeur c3 for Christmas, don't know if I can convince that I need a new rod to go with it, but I do own several St. Croix rods and I love every one of them. But I don't have a St. Croix casting rod. Tight lines you old goat!

A leaf bass is what spawns from a branch trout sometime around September. Pond is full of 'em, and they'll bite on anything.

They're like the saladbuts that are found just offshore along the pacific coast.

And more often than not they out smart a lot of us.
Me anyway.
Strength in numbers I suppose.
I learn something here every day, might not be what I expected but I will take it.

Strength in numbers indeed. Snag a couple of them big ones and you expect a decent fight. But all you end up with is a bunch of dead weight.

No sir. Getting to the pond thinking, "I'm gonna try out this new lure with my new setup." And with a flick ,sent my new lure sailing much farther than expected directly into the one spot of heavy cover. That was dumb.
Found out the blood knot I was unsure of was actually quite strong. My ability to recover said lure, not so much.
Win some. Lose some.

Fly guy. I've never heard of a leaf bass of a saladbut. Don't feel dumb. Like OZ said getting educated.
