Went fishing yesterday and after a few months of fishing with the 3:16 8" freestyle's I finally caught some fish and built some confidence on them. I started out with the floater and reeled it very very slowly and got some follows before I decided to start an erratic retrieve to see what results I would get and it paid off. Caught the all 3 fish around sunken tree's. I had a ton of follower's and bites on the slow sink but no hookups. It was a pretty good day on up until I casted my LDC MH, Diawa Lexa 300 and FS slow sink trout into the lake(see the thread in the swimbait underground section titled LDC/Lexa 300/8" FS Search & Rescue ) Still figuring out why I did that . A big thanks to Travis(evans_usmc69) for fishing the rod, reel and bait out of the water! The man's an expert when it comes to finding rods in the lake
