Panfishing

Today was nice day to be outside, so I packed up my fishing gear and headed to my favourite panfishing spot. When I got there I couldn't believe all the fish swimming around. Most of been over 50 pan fish swimming in the shallows. The rig set up I used was small bobber with a foot of line from #8 hook with small piece of worm and small split shot. On my first cast once my bobber hit the water, few secounds went by bobber down and fish on!!, reeled it in and it was my first pumpkin seed of the day. After I released the fish, I stepped back on my reel handle and broke it. I was pissed about that, but I continue to use the reel. Everytime I cought a fish I had to use two fingers and my thumb to reel a fish in, but it wasn't has hard I thought it would be.It was like screwing in bolt. About every other cast I had a fish on. I ownly fished for few hours today because I had things to do. I most of cought 30 plus fish today.
