Congrats Matt! I bet you were happy to see that spot tail break the water on the way to the yak.

Hell yeah!! it went on a decent little run too, for Light tackle... Caught it on a "bignose" spinner with white gulp.. the hawgshads caught some fish, the gulp holds up a little better.

Well it's about time! Congrats on the new species. I have yet to catch one myself.

Haha nice! I was wondering when you'd get him. Congrats

Those little runs are the best, especially when they spot the boat. The only bad thing about those hawg shads is that they are extremely soft. Great for some kinds of fishing, but perch and reds rip them to shreds pretty quickly.

Congrats! I thought you might find one there...

Congratulations Matt. I'm glad you achieved that goal. Now get back out and catch a bunch more.

Thanks for the tips John. I fished a small green spinner like you showed me and caught a bunch of perch, small stripers, and had a pickerel to the side of the boat before it shook off. Definitely a good first trip to Weems of many more. No reds yet but I hope to get my first one this weekend.
