My second experience with Ballinger was much different. This time rather than casting, I decided to go with the herd and fish on the bottom. But I refuse to use powerbait. I have no interest in hat...

Another weekend, and yet again I couldn't resist 3 hours of no bites at Larsen. This time I was using a jig. At first I thought the most interesting part of the day might be the couple under the sle...
