Browns, esox, and a smb

[thmyorke1]

Got a mixed bag from recent trips.

Went to PA for trout and got 5 nice hits and only landed one. Some bad luck with hook up ratio.

Back in NJ did some creek fishing and did even worse with hookups- skunked despite lots of fish hitting.
I went out again last night and bent my jig's hook into a more sickle hook-like shape;
supposedly that helped as I landed a bunch with hardly any missed hookups.

A few other quick fishing trips after work warranted some other fun fish.
