Hi all,
Today I was trying a different setup for bank canal fishing. I was getting nothing so I start to cast while heading back to the car. Something hit the bait hard and started to bend the rod tip. It felt like I had a machine gun on the other end. After a couple of turns of the reel I heard a ping and the line went limp. I was utterly demoralized . I wish I could have at least seen what it was.
Any thoughts? Part of me thinks it might have been a big peacock. Any of you guys that fish the canals might know what it was?
Another question, since the water in some of the Miami canals are so stained, think I could get away with straight braid?
Setup:
Rod 7ft Shimano Teramar Medium
Reel Shimano CI4 2500 Spinning
Line 15lb Power Pro
Leader: 12 lb Fluoro
Lure: Mirror Lure suspending twitch bait
Location: Dnake Creek Canal behind the N. Miami Beach Library
Thanks in advance!
