    First off this year has started better than the last few

    I have only fished 12 days in total so far this year but have caught alot more number and size than last.

    Williams creek

    8-2lb smallmouth
    4-8oz crappie
    2- bluegill

    lake barkley(5 days)
    200-1lb bass(13-14inches)
    1-5lb large mouth
    1-5lb sucker drum
    1-1.5lb bluegill
    1-1lb 10oz crappie
    1- 4lb small mouth
    10 - 1.25lb yellow bass(had I known the world record was only 2lbs I might have weighted them more carefullly)

    Private pond in fishers
    1-25lb est channel cat( line snapped while trying to grab the fish. 4lb test coploy)
    2-3lb largemouth
    40-9-10in bluegill
    1-1lb smallmouth


    All caught on my st.criox trimuph 6' ML 4 piece travel rod with a pfluger 7430 arbor spinning reel. I mainly have been using 4lb triline transoptic as my line sometimes I have upped it to 6lb test.

    Ok now to my issue

    when reeling I have a clicking noise coming from the bottom of my spinning reel; it seems as if the shaft is loose and is rattling. Is there a fix or do I have to send in my reel for warranty work as it was only just bought on feb 23? I did have to play the catfish for 30 minutes before he tired and was constantly pulling drag with it set pretty tight( had to use my hand a lot to increase drag).

    Out this morning after first storm in Indy, caught 7 bass, all keepers. One larger 5lb. and one even larger left water and spit out the jig. All the bass were fat and appear to be a month ahead of schedule. Going out again tomorrow morning. Used 12" plastic on wobble head jig, my " go too" bait.
