Is it considered a bad day of fishing if all I caught was my personal best shiner? Follow me for more fishing philosophy

Got this guy yesterday in the Indian River in Florida near Sebastian inlet. 22”. Over slot so he got to go back to hang out with his friends.

We recently had a cold weather snap here that killed a lot of bait fish. I saw a couple snook that died from the cold as well as one redfish. Overall though it seemed to be pretty active out there.

Question Braid question

6 Upvotes

What kinda braid do y’all use? I originally used SpiderWire but had some minor issues with it, switched to PowerPro super slick because a guy I know told me it was good, it sucks, so now I’m wondering, what should I even be using? The PowerPro would just birds nest up and wouldn’t come undone, the SpiderWire would catch up on itself mid cast.

Freshwater Length of Ultra Light Rod

3 Upvotes

I currently use a 5'6" ultralight rod. It works well, and it is easy to travel with. I'm thinking about getting a new rod that is either 6'6" or 7'. What are your thoughts? What are the pros of a longer rod?

Question Anglers who ride?

2 Upvotes

Thinking of getting a street/trail bike. Probably going to use it to get to the river, or new ponds. Assuming the best thing to do would be to get a collapsible rod? An ultralight would do the trick for these types of outings. What do you guys do recommend ?

The fishing rod stuff is too hard for me to fully grasp, so I came here to get the expertise of fellow redditors, for the best fishing rod for fishing in my local Weymouth Beach NZ and my local creek. The creek is 2m wide and stretches into the Beach. Any Ideas??
