walleyemen Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Headed to the upper niagara river again this mornin, fishing seems slower this week i suspect the fish are heading to erie or at least starting to, got 10 or so smallmouth ,nothing big, but they are sure fat, lost a life jacket somewheres ,but he worst was my drop shot rod, got snagged up on something, usually the dropshot weights just pull off ,not this time, starts spoolin me so i grab the line with my index and middle finger, usually the weight pulls off, burn my 2 fingers so i let off and woop there goes the rod and reel, man what a aweful feeling, had to laugh what else could you do LOL, just not how i wanted to upgrade, so here are some pics , hope you all had a better day than me!!

Pigeontroller Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 That current is relentless, try jigging with a 6 oz. swimbait, 80 pound braid on a Muskie rod and get a snag... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpsbassman Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) Is that first pic the last picture ever taken of that rod?? :o If so, I'd be pretty upset too. Edited August 18, 2008 by BPSBASSMAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Johnny Bass Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Some nice smallies. Sucks about your rod though. We've all been there in one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
