Started off with this one on 10xd. I think it head bumped bait and I set the hook. Snagged him with both sets of trebles nowhere near it mouth.
Caught 4 more on 5xd before heading into the pads.
Threw a 7 and 5 inch swimbait on under spin but never got bit... downsized and caught a bunch.
Big one of the day..
Lost a good one in the pads that pulled drag and then got me hung up in pad stems and busted one off on 5xd that cut braid on bridge piling... fun day though it was windy.
These guys didn’t appreciate me not leaving any food out when I left this morning.
A good rule of angling philosophy is not to interfere with another fisherman's ways of being happy, unless you want to be hated. Zane Grey, Tales of Fishes, 1919
