Catch of the day [Fishing]

[Giles]

It is used in US for Bass.  Developed in Japan for really finicky fish in hard fished waters….

[Matty123]

That sounds awesome.

[Giles]

@jordanscollected and @Matty123 My first drop-shot rig…..

[Matty123]

That’s a nice perch pattern

[Giles]

If it catches me a Perch, it's a nice Perch pattern.  If it doesn't, it's fucking crap….

[Matty123]

I meant it Looks like a perch!

[Giles]

I know what you meant….....

[jordanscollected]

That’s a really nice swimbait @Giles. Those little fingers coming off will make some nice agitation in the water too. Keep up posted on the casting practice.

[Matty123]

I can’t stop fishing. Froze my ass off tonight.

[Giles]

Well done Matty…..

[Giles]

The local club has accepted me (the fools)….

Had to go to the dump and I passed the (well stopped, actually) fort with the moat that P and I scoped last weekend.

Caught a micro pike to a Mepps.....

[jordanscollected]

Those pike are called “Hammer Handles” in the U.S. still better than getting skunked.

[Giles]

Better than a blank…

[jordanscollected]

Skunked is a blank.

I saw your other post in Xmas traditions. Is that a Stradic? I have 2 and they the best reel I’ve ever used. It makes me proud that a pro also uses them.

[Giles]

Well spotted.  It is a Stradic 1000.  I have a Stradic 3000 for FW and another Stradic 3000 for SW.  Love them….

[Matty123]

Nice Giles!

[Matty123]

First keep of the year. 28”
Of course I let him go

[jordanscollected]

Nice fish @Matty123. I’m happy for you to be able to get out.

[Giles]

Well done @Matty123

[Giles]

I popped out earlier.  @jordanscollected I did not blank, but I swear this one is even smaller 

Something else has been having a go at this one….
