St Francis holiday fun
« on: January 19, 2017, 09:34:55 AM »
Hi everyone

Just want to share some of our catches we made over the holiday in St Francis.

We managed to get a few different species although the bigger rays eluded me.  We didn't spend a lot of time fishing due to me preparing for my itc exams which are next week.

Enjoy the photos

I used my shimano exage 1446 or beastmaster heavy paired with a 20/40

Spinning setup is a max rod 12ft and a Penn performer v2 6000 with 40lb hmp braid (specifically for the girlfriend to use)

The duckie gave her a proper pull on that setup

Was going to say , if that duckie was caught on a spinning set must have been sports .. :Like:
