I went to a private honey hole for huge bream yesterday.
I get the chance to fish there a few times a year and try to never miss an opportunity.
Anyway, the bream weren't eating. Found out later the guy that is taking care of the place for the landowner fed them quite a bit the day before.
Oh well, it is what it is.
Just for kicks I took a bass rod with me.
Spinning rod rigged with braid and a fluro leader.
Caught several 12-14" bass that the landowner wanted out of there.
Anything under 1 1/2# he wants gone.
He said keep them or throw them in the woods, I don't care. LOL
Got hung up and broke off, luckily at the hook.
Retied and got hung again and this time it broke at the knot where the braid and leader met.
Thought what the heck and retied again with just the braid. I didn't bring any leader line with me.
I don't have any idea why but when I was twitching the whacky worm the feel was completely different.
It was like I couldn't feel the weight of the worm at all?
What would be the difference there?
Just curious.
I think I only caught one more after losing my leader.
