Now that a new Pope has been elected it got me to thinking about perhaps the ultimate sin on the FAOL WW board. Which is---------spin fishing or baitcasting. If indeed confession is good for the soul, I must admit I have sinned. The crappie are biting but they haven't moved up shallow yet in the big lakes. They are out past the first drop, staging, waiting for the right water temp before moving up to procreate. I must confess that I tried the long rod but just couldn't keep up with my gear headed bretheren so, like the man says, "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em". So I did and I'm now putting a few in the freezer with the ultralight spinning rod. When they move up to spawn I'm back to the long rod but until then, I'll continue to sin.
I feel better already about my confession.
Anyone else out there that needs to come forward and get it off your chest or are you indeed "pure"?
