My Fishing Reel Review

About 3 years ago I bought a new open face reel. LEWS is the brand name from Cabelas. Most reels last me a year if I'm lucky, the raceway where the line runs over starts to groove within a couple of months, but not with LEWS brand fishing reels.

 I'm an avid fisherman, going at least once a week and some weeks 3 or 4 times, that's a lot of casting, retrieving and stress put on my reels. My LEWS Open Face Reel is the best fishing reel I've used in 45 years of fishing.

Stormy Saturday

I'm a die-hard fisherman, as long as they're biting I'll keep at it. I also love fishing in storms and have had some awesome fishing trips just before and during thunderstorms. Today Saturday 4-25-15 I knew when I stepped outside this morning that it would be a good fishing day.

So I grabbed my trusty Android, messaged my brother and we met at a favorite fishing hole.
A beautiful old country pond that's about 6 acres in area and full of bass, crappie, and big perch.

When I get there he's already fishing, so I get my gear and head to the water.

The fish are hitting lite due to a cold front moving in but we dealt with that. Finally about half way around the pond I toss a couple or big perch in my bucket and continue around the bank.

The wind is blowing hard but we manage to set the hook on many large perch and bass, no crappie today but I'm OK with that.
Here's the biggest bass that day, a bit over 3 lbs with the others in the 2 lb range, perfect eating size. Yum! Fresh spring time bass for supper.

Wild Passion

When I was a child, young and mild
My fishing love began in the wild

With creeks and ponds, I had a bond
So of all wild places I'm rather fond
Water and woods are calming to me
Now my passion's plain to see

While roaming wildly, here and there
Of the modern world I have no care
Now worry not if you can't reach me, I've left home all technology.  <(;HF+<
