>>539202I taught my girlfriend to catch shad, she is addicted.
>>539773Ugly stick is a solid rod at a good price.
>>540004Shimano sahara 2500FI on a rhino 6'6 rod. When I'm fishing lakes with my girl I just practice fly casting and let her use the rod. Or I use my small surf setup, 8' triumph St Croix, with shimano stradic 6000, but its overkill for lakes, prefer practicing with flys.
Caught this in Acadia today. With a small silver/blue spoon on a medium retrieve, jigging every 5th spin of the reel. Water was relatively shallow.
20inch Landlocked Salmon. For a person who almost exclusively surf casts, this was a real treat, and probably my PB for freshwater.
