Told you Schoolie and I'd recommend braid to anyone fishing plastics. It's one thing if your casting out a swimming shad or cocohoe, where you have a chance of feeling the hit on mono, it's another if your using jerkbaits and more of a finesse approach. Throw in current, a cross wind and a long cast and mono just doesn't cut it. When I jumped on the braid band wagon years ago, I think my hook-up rate double, it made that much of a difference.

I caught a bunch there on my little 4 inch jerkbait during that brief flurry at last years mystery trip. A 26 inch fish is a nice one for early, but with the warm spring I'll bet we see nicer fish earlier. I'm hoping to get into something this weekend. It depends on the weather and it I'll have the outboard fixed.
