As always. Solid post and fish. Good job Steve. Side note. I use my index finger on the line.

Beautiful fish. I would say 143 was a pretty good day. Although I donโt use a spinning rod much, when I do I usually use the same grip as above.

Thanks Doc, Chuck & Barry...The grip shown above is the same one I have used my whole life as well right-handed. It feels very different using the non dominant hand. Casting this way feels ok, but the hookset feels way better moving one finger over so that the reel shaft is between the middle & index (pointer) finger. I make the hand transition after the cast when closing the bail...

Pretty good haul Steve. There're some nice gills in that group. I wanted to go yesterday but something else came up. Winds are expected to be high the rest of this week, so it doesn't look good for me getting out there. How many spots did you fish?

Thanks Sean...
Zane...I saw the forecast & figured yesterday was the only option for this week...next week looks pretty good all week but will pass on the Monday Holiday. I fished what I call 5 spots...Two of the spots are pretty close & could be considered one.
Side note/question...The guy on the TFF cover is wearing a sweatshirt with the TFF logo. Does TFF sell merchandise, or did he maybe win it for some feat?

Thanks Fishbonz...I guess we all learned things a little differently when we started out.
Yesenia...Some areas sw of SA I thought got a lot of rain this spring...sorry you guys missed out....I know it's gonna be summer from now on, but maybe consider renting a cabin on Fayette County lake for a few days...I could meet you there & give some pointers...

Fisbonz...When u get a chance, try casting with your non dominant hand/arm a few times. See if the grip u have always used feels the most natural ? It did not for me, but I am settling into a groove with the new grip. Thanks for the comments...
