...strikes again.

With this grind, it's often about the attitude....



But, I did manage to put 2 fish in the net....this was the second of 2. A little 30"er that had the body of a carp rather than a tiger musky...obviously eating well. That didn't stop it from slamming my 8" mini-buford (ish) right next to the boat.



Cheers!!

You know, I go back and forth on this, but with how clear the water is on my home lake, fluoro outperforms any wire I've used. That said, I also know that eventually I'm going to get bit off. That [that] said, I'll still have days where I'll just use wire (So far my favorite is the Rio wire bite tippet because knots are so easy with it).

Cheers!
