Wild Green Carrot Stix Rods
"My Day on the water Michigan!!! Jordan Lake!!!!!!"
I expected the water to in the upper 60's but when I got to my first spot it 74. I started out by throwing a jerk bait and 4 fish in my first 6 casts. What a start but they were all 13 inches long. On my 7th cast pop lol there goes my jerk bait. When I idled down to get it my golden rule feel out of the boat lol. I thought to myself "it's going to be one of those days lol". I threw a jerk bait, chatter bait, drop shot, and top water and still was plagued with small fish. It was time to bring out some old KY lake swim baits lol. I found a high spot in 18 ft of water that came up to 5 ft and they were piled in there. On my first cast with the swim bait I caught one over 2 lbs, and on this lake that is a good fish. I caught 2 more keepers in about 5 casts. The bad thing I had nothing to measure them lol.. I was throwing a 6 inch swim bait blue and chartreuse slow rolling it across the high spot.
With the wind blowing at 25 plus it made landing fish very difficult.. I lost a fish that was every bit of 4 lbs plus and that's a game changer but I could execute.. when your tournament fishing that is the difference between winning and losing.. I ended up losing 8 keepers and without a golden rule I probably turned loss more than that... not good.... I caught almost 100 fish in one 75 yard stretch.. now I need more swim baits lol. I was on the right size fish but couldn't keep them buttoned up. I was able to try out my new Wild Greed carrot stix rods and I'm impressed.. Not only are they light but supper sensitive and lots of backbone... I was definitely impressed!!!I can't wait until my next tournament!!!!!
