Hi all,
So I guess I have been missing from the blog. I was looking at info on running a blog and #1 most important thing is posting at least once a week and I am kinda a fail at that, lol. So that being said I am going to try to post a small amount of information about each trip. I will not be over sharing info on small bodies of water but as for the big places I am a tell all kinda person...

I went to the wind river and met up with a friend and his son. Last week I picked up a fish by myself running Pro-trolls and 3.5 spinners. I use both Pro-troll brand and Short bus 360 and find the only difference in results is more matching the color to the conditions. I have better luck in low vis with the bright short bus gear and in high vis I do best with Pro-troll silver with a purple stripe. As for the spinners when I buy them I have had equal results with Simon and VIP spinners, I am a big fan of the candy backs, maybe just confidence but I have been getting fish on them.
With our 2 pole endorsement we ran 5 poles and right off the bat we had I bit but it didn't hook up. I am thinking since we were going down river it might have hit from the side and just had the blade. As the day went on the wind just got worse until it was to hard to keep good action. The guys bobber fishing were doing a little with the fish on the point, we saw them pick up a few but the fish looked darker then normal, I don't know what to think about that.

Tomorrow I am going out, I will post a little about that.
Tight lines,
Robert
