Broke my Abu Garcia rod and my ultra light Shakespeare so I decided to pull the trigger on a fly fishing kit. I fish all lot of pressured lakes and pods and I can ...more see how a more natural approach could be more appealing to the fish. So I found this rod kit on eBay for $30 and figured why not. I taught myself how to use a baitcaster and now its time to learn once more.

One of the carp my 8yo brother landed on the private pond we were given permission to fish the other day. I was having such a hard time keeping him from reeling ...more in the bait then as soon as this guy took hold all you could hear was me yelling, "REEL REEL REEL" lol we had a ball.

Took my youngest bother to a pond that hasn't been fished in over six year. I was lucky enough to know to the owners youngest son so I got permission to fish ...more for the night. We caught everything from pan fish, lmb, sheepshead, to bull heads, blue cats, and carp. It was a successful day to say the least. Can't wait to take this little guy out again soon.

The only fish I got to catch this morning before my rod broke. Beautiful sunrise over the lake. Around 64° out. Clear skies. Slow rolled the square bill all ...more the way back to the dock and this guy snagged it up just as I was pulling it out of the water. Weighed in at 1lb 14oz. Not a monster but I'll takem.
Well my morning started out poorly so I decided to hit the water around 7am for some therapy. I landed a 1lb 14oz lmb on my second cast and could feel the worlds ...more problems beginning to fade. A few casts later this happens on the retrieval. I don't know how you ever break a rod there. Oh well, I guess this just gives me a reason to give Duckett rods a go.

Third fish all morning. Casted next to a down tree parallel to the bank. Made a big splash due to a high cast. Started a fast retrieval because I figured I had scared ...more any lively fish away from the area. Little did I know this guy thinks he's jaws or something and digs those kinds of things. No long arm here. Roughly 14in. Couldn't get my scale to work properly.
Seen a lot of poor handling techniques lately. Let's do our best to respect these animals that way we can have the chance to catch them again next year. Good ...more luck this season guys.
