To warm for sitting in a stand so,I got out to the river again this morning,and this time decided to make the mile and a bit trec .Nice crisp morning, pushed a few deer,but sure was alittle sweaty when I got there.Making your own path through 5 ft of high weeds is always fun.LOL
When I got to the hole,to my surprise this huge steelie is jumping around. Guess he was happy to see me so we could play.LOL
I drifted small 2-3 egg sacks for about an hour or so,then switched up to a pink worm.The fish were there,they were moving pretty good in this pool. Three drifts and wack,a small steel couple of jumps and off. Think he just had the tail or the worm. Lost my worm none the less. Grab a bag from the pouch,it,s the orange ones. Oh well,give it a try too. dozen or so drifts and thump and here we go.Rod takes a major bend,Im trying to let the rod do the work,allow the reel to spool abit. Come up and out,it,s a huge steelie,15 or so.Makes another dive and I dont give the reel enough relief pressure. Snap,right at the swivel. Oh well,I had a blast getting my first two fall fish on.
So you experince guys please help me with what I should or shouldnt be doing with big fish on a pin.
Oh ya,going back there in the morning again.
