learn to fish

I got a trout stamp, I’m fishing on the root river, catching fish. Still much more to learn, but I’m considering this a successful conclusion. Thanks, internets, for giving me knowledge.

Caught a 3 lb large mouth bass off the dock yesterday. Figured out how to correctly spool my open reel and cast off into the reeds with a jig.

Still trying to get the line on my new reel. It keeps unspooling. Its got a serious twist that I haven’t been able to undo yet. I fished with a cheap closed reel setup yesterday, didn’t catch a thing.

Just bought a rod and reel. Need to rig a spool and put the line on the reel and I’m ready to fish for bluegill. Its a start.
