SUMMARY :
You would think by looking at my log entries that all I do is fish with this small brown Roostertail spinner,but it isn't true. Today I tried a couple of different Rapala plugs and even a different spinner (Panther Martin). However, once again, this brown Roostertail caught all the fish and has quickly become my favorite lure when fishing the shoreline.

While I doubled my catch from a month ago at this pond, it still was a slow pick as far as I'm concerned.
