Today marked the first time on the water for me in 2017. It seems very late, and I only have one person to blame...Mother Nature. It seems as though the weekdays are nice and then comes the cold fronts/wind on the weekends. Anyone that knows me would never call me a fair-weather fisherman, but lately it has been just nasty on the weekends. Just two days ago, temperatures were in the 60's, and today, around 40 and cloudy. Either way, I had to the river boat in the water to test some of the off-season updates we have made. To my surprise, everything worked! I just happened to bring along a few poles, as did Keith Donnelly so we might as well make a few casts!
We ended up with a few largemouth and smallmouth bass, and a smaller pike. For the 90 minutes we were on the water, it was awesome. Casting, retrieving, it just felt awesome!
The boat wasn't the only thing I wanted to test out today, next on the list was the new
QuantumPT Special Issue rods. I threw a jerkbait on the 7-foot Medium action model as well as a spinnerbait. There is tremendous sensitivity on these rods, which didn't surprise me a bit. After all they were fine-tuned by the Quantum Pros themselves much of last year. As I use them more I will surely update you on their performance, but for this quick trip, one word sums it up...WOW.
