Orion 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2012 Well guys I fished Lick and Dryers creek ( the inlet part). I only caught four LGM. Two at each. Lick i caught my largest of the day a nice four pounder. However I hooked up with really nice large mouth at the boat ramp at dryers creek. I had a strike king KVD on he went airborne and next thing I Knew my line was limp. The fish broke my snap swivel ugh! So looks like I will just tie every thing on. That fish looked like it was easily my PB. Oh well I'll try again next week.

GlitterRocket 219 Report post Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) glad you got your line stretched, hate you lost that big'un! those speed clips will cost you a fish from time to time, but they sure do make changing bait a lot faster. i'm glad to see a new member participate!!!!!

SouthernSam 31 Report post Posted October 15, 2012 Thanks for sharing with us! Hate the big one got off on the snap. I hate those snaps, some of them worse than others.
