Was on the water by 7 AM today. Wind picked up out of the North. Drifted around and got a couple of nice pike. Turned a tad cold, so about 8:30 was going to head home and fillet up fish for lunch.
Saw a swirl near the weed line so snapped a cast - 3 pike are better than two (hollow legs at home when the fryer starts)
The cast was into the wind with a light spoon, and the bait caster birdnested like you wouldn't believe. Brand new 15lb. Power Pro. Just can't get your thumb on the line fast enough.

So, after lunch (burp!, cuse me), I tried to get the backlash out........Suddenly remembered why I switched to spinning reels. Folks, that power pro is wonderful line, but if it birdnests, next to impossible to get it out. Wound up cutting. Goodbye new line.

Here's the point. Going to post some baitcasters for sale in Hawk Classified: also baitcasting rod. Giver a look. Sorry, Hawk, fer sneakin a advert in the forum.
Pike tasted great though. Actually got a piece.
