Wayne, Ohio

Fishing was tough for me today. Managed to hook into a few decent fish and dumped 2 more that would have given me a solid 10-12 pound bag. The bluerock custom tackle tube was the move today. Seemed like it was the only thing the fish would munch today and they ate it good when they did. . .

Man oh man did this feel good. I haven’t been fishing in nearly 3 weeks because I’ve been so busy and was rewarded with a decent one on my first cast. Fished for a couple of hours tonight and landed a couple decent ones and lost the biggest fish I’ve had hooked this year when it straightened my buzzbait hook out and it managed to spit in when it jumped. Overall a solid couple of hours on the water and I’m looking forward to a few more hours tomorrow! .

Weather was rough this weekend and made the fishing tough as well. Managed to hook into a decent fish bank fishing and then struggled the rest of the weekend.
