New Year's Eve Boat Fishing. Jigging with a Casting Rod
A spinning rod, a boat, and December 31st—a perfect combination to say goodbye to the old fishing year. The prolonged thaw allowed me to catch pike again using soft lures. And to make things more interesting, I used a casting rod and a baitcasting reel. Happy New Year, friends!
