I haven't gotten out that much. I'm still trying to beat a case of bronchitis and my waders have hole in them AGAIN. I am so fed up with them, I just tossed them out. I'm not fishing again until fall.
So far this season has been a bust. I've been trying to target large when there just aren't any large around. I've gotten one bass that didn't even break 20 inches. I'd feel pathetic but I haven't seen anyone else do much better in my area and I haven't gotten out too much.
I'm hanging up the 10 foot St. Croix for now and pulling out one of the smaller rods and have fun. Then I'm going to build a Lamiglas PSH108H spinning (getting some help from this guy Dorge on Fuji Concept guides) and the XRA1205 conventional for the really big water and then probably sell the St. Croix. She was a great rod and should sell pretty well since it's only 3 years old and I kept her very well. She's a 9 out of 10 for looks and a 10 out of 10 for function. It'll be sad to see her go. I paid 170 for it. Maybe I can sell it for 140.
Maybe we'll have one or two more trips together this fall. Still hard to accept defeat.
So that's how my season has gone. My spirit is broken. No large fish for me this year. Time to go back to light tackle. I'll stock up on yo-zuris, small wood and megabaits until I can get out of this hellhole.
Sorry if I depressed any of you. lol
