I put 14 in the boat today, mostly on the Dinger worm, couple on the swim n dinger. Size ranges from 1.16 to 2.24lbs. I got broken off 3 times, fish got off in the reeds 4 times and had 7 get off on the way to the boat. Put in at Lakefront Park and went to the left out of the canal and fished along the reed line looking for some pepper grass as well. Went down about a mile total and then went back around near Chisholm park, still fishing along the reeds line and in pepper grass.

I only got 2 in the boat today. Had a rough time, got broke off 3 times, ran out of hooks that I was using and had to use what I had which didn't work as good as I didn't get hooked up on 5 fish and lost another 3. Was fishing inside the reeds in calmer water fishing pockets and along the edges.

Fishing along the reeds today and caught 17, mostly in the pound and a half to two and a half pound range. Biggest one in the boat went 3.08 and the biggest one got tangled in the reeds and got off before I could get there, looked like a 5-6 pounder. Most bites were very subtle and they running with it. Missed a few and had a couple sput the hook

Caught about a dozen today, mostly 1.5 to 2lbs. in the boat and the biggest one about 3lbs got off right at the boat. All were caught up against the Reed line in about 2 to 7 feet of water.

Started the day with a frog but only had one swipe at it in 45 minutes so I put it away and went with a underspin for a while and got nothing. Picked up the Dinger and caught 3 right quick before loosing it and went to the Swim n Dinger and caught the rest. I had 4 get off at the boat, missed 3 and had 3 come off when they tangled me up in the reeds. The Shimano Mastiff line holds up very well in the reeds and underwater grass, no breaks today and didn't even have to retie. Most bites were faint but with the line and the Trika 6x rod I was able to detect them.

Only got 5 small guys today, 1.58 was the biggest. I got broke off 4 times, one was definitely a turtle and one was a really big girl that bent my rod over double, took a bunch of line and broke off. Missed a few, think that they were just grabbing the tail instead of inhaling it. Fishing inside the reeds to the left of Lakefront Park, targeting pepper grass.

Only had a couple hours to fish, started with a frog hoping to get a big bite, but after 30 minutes I only had one bite and he didn't get it all the way, so I switched to the Yum Swim n dinger and fished it along the edges of the reeds and got 12 little ones in the boat, the biggest at 1.60lbs. The best bite was right up against the reeds or just as it came out of the submerged pepper grass

Went left out of Lakefront Park throwing a frog along and in the reeds with no luck, so I went with the Yum Swim n Dinger and got a bite on 3rd cast and caught the one pictured few cast later, 1.98lbs. Threw up into the reeds and he hit it just on the edge of the reeds, very faint bite. Caught another one later on down in the pepper grass about 1.50lbs.
