Sunny Saturday
Snapped my rod last time out, so went today to try out the new gear. Brought a tiny 5' spinner, new camera, and my kayak to Batterson pond in New Britain for a few casts. Positioned myself behind this small island in about a foot of water and landed a 4" watermelon senko in a tight shaded corner on top of a big ol' pig. Quickly found out my drag needed to be adjusted; I pulled her in by hand. It was wrapped in about 3lbs of weeds and made a mess of my kayak while I tried to free it up. Only fish of the day, but didn't mess around too much after that. Foggy water, hot, mid-day.
