Splicing Braid To Mono

This knot works fine for the 4 lb. braid to 4lb. fluorocarbon I use on my ultralight rod.

Deep Water

The fish seem to have gone deep, but they can still be caught. I've been catching crappie and a few redear in 40 to 60 feet of water. Fishing vertically in the morning, and then casting way on the outside as the day warms up. I've also been catching bass dropshotting worms, (plastic and crawlers).  This behemoth took a fly.
