Post by: Fishin_603 on Mar 07, 2022, 04:44 PM
Got out yesterday evening, beautiful day 50 degrees, got all my jaw jackers in then dropped my jig down and instantly my line got tight. Had 2 lb test and a light rod. took me 10 minutes to get this fish in,it was an awesome fight

maybe its worth a shot throwing a crayfish down the hole instead of an egg, just have to keep it off the bottom

I think bigger brookies like live bait, worth a shot !

I have one rod set up with 2 lb for panfish so I decided to use it because all my other rods were in the jackers! Made it interesting tho 😂

Fried it up in a pan with some butter and put it on an egg sandwich ( might be weird but sure is tasty)😂

Nice work. I'm a fan of 2lb. It handles fine if you play it right..
