Well I'm back from Pa fishing trip. I was out on sat and sun 2 times each day. Unfortunatly the first 2 hours I lost 2 spinners and had caught just 1 fish. Later I came back after breakfeast and caught 1 more pickerel and lost another lure. On sunday I did not catch anything and did not have any bites.
While Larsen lake was very windy and rough on Saturday the water was clear and relativly calm on Sunday. So far the only lures that have caught fish for me have been Mepps #1 spinners and I caught 1 this weekend on a jointed rebel minnow type. The water where I'm fishing is quite shallow and I'm not sure I can get to deeper water. I am casting from the bank and I do not think this particular lake is very deep at all.
Ona side note I've brought my reel home with hopes of changing my line and getting some better distance on my casts. With a spinner around 3/16 of an ounce I am getting about 60 yards max with 6# mono on an ultralight with a 7' rod. Would or should I get better distance wand what line would you try or go with ? I'd love to go with a high visability line maybe even braided. It's not an expensive reel but seems to work well.
