Wading slip Float Fishing 8' rod
This fish took a 16th oz.Marabou jig with crawler piece.Gotta change tip on rod. It is poorly designed like a split ring and line gets caught and snaps off float lost two floats casting .The 8' rod gets good casting distance with 2 # test though .First time using the Zebco Slab Seeker. An oddity : lost another float after setting the hook on a Gill that hit the float and cut the line with its fin.It(or another fish) was hooked and was swimming around fighting with the floats buoyancy .

An experiment today .I have much to learn about float fishing .This Bass was suspended @about 4' below a few feet in front of that (Crappie)dock .The Perch was a better fish (for its species/size) for Cupsaw Lake.The Perch came off a drop off far to the left of this dock .This is near the area of my usual night time Bullhead spot.
The spot is a buildup flat at a spillway .I was casting out to a dropoff and a floating dock .I had to try this spot ,wading /slip floating /distance casting/ as a new experience due to the bank fishing group that set me in motion . This is the first time fishing this spot like this and I learned some things .
Two gills and the Crappie came much in front of the Dock towards the bank away from the spillway.
