I concur with @andrew_knowlton_fishing. We are indeed back. Great day in southern NH today with a ton of finesse fishing. Dropshot and Ned rig caught half of our fish to start the day, then we went out deep and pinged a minnow on offshore smallmouth bass for a few hours. We caught 35-ish total for the two of us and our best 5 went 19 lbs 7 oz. . The new Seduce from @beastcoastfishing in the 3.8" in Smelt and the 5.25" in Ghost Herring did most of the heavy lifting for me, and Andrew used a mix of other baits. The @douglasspinandcast XMATRIX DXS 6103XF is hands down my favorite minnow rod, but a close second is the 763XF for the really light stuff. Put almost every fish in the boat today on those two rods. Paired them both up with @lews_fishing Custom Lite 3000 spinning reels, @defiantfishing Smooth Casting 22 lb Braid and 7.8 lb Soft Casting Fluoro for the leader. . It feels good to feel good about fishing again, and it feels better having my best friend back in the boat. . Thanks to my sponsors for sticking around and supporting me through the rut! Be sure to follow and support them! @beastcoastfishing @fxrprofish @bigbassdreams @defiantfishing @benstackleshack @bajiosunglasses @lews_fishing @douglasspinandcast @crazyhickbaitco #bassfishing #bassfishingtips #fishing #fishingtips #largemouthbass #largemouthbassfishing #smallmouthbass #smallmouthbassfishing #newenglandfishing #bigbassdreams #lewsfishing #beastcoastfishing #unitedinthepursuit #douglasoutdoors #fxrprofish #bassfishingismylife
