    @@Brian-vd4mg Yea, it's so sad. I do a lot of fishing by myself in "far to reach" places with a Kayak, etc. and it's amazing. But at the same time I think I get the most enjoyment in taking my nephews/nieces fishing to accessible places, and it's a god damn shame that people can't pick up their trash. I feel embarrassed showing them places where I've fished for years that are now completely littered with trash. What is so HARD about putting your trash away in your bag or backpack, whatever you bring with you? :(

    Just a small tip, FWIW. I put a spot of white paint at 18”, 19”, two at 20”, and another at 21” up from rod butt. Gives you a quick measurement for a big fish if you’re away from the ruler (like today). 😊

I'm retired now, but I'd of loved to have had a spot like this-what a great spot to unwind after a long day at work. An hour there and you'd be back to normal. Good stuff Matt. God bless.

    I use that setup a lot this time of year for throwing light jigs and plastics and weightless wacky worms. The combination of the Daiwa SV spool and running 15lb braid to a 12lb fluoro leader gets some great casting distance with those light lures and I don’t end up with a birds nest like I eventually would with spinning gear and reeling a somewhat slack line.
