I mainly just wanted to brag on my new combo though.

A Shimano Core 50MG7 reel paired with an Abu Garcia Veritas Micro Guide MH rod. It's by far the lightest combo and best feeling combo that I've ever had. Cant wait to find some bass this weekend.
On a side note, we tried the perch for the first time on Claiborne Friday night. Had schools showing up all over us on the scanner, but extremely slow on the bite. I had an old timer tell me the perch wont bite on the full moon. I don't perch fish much, so I haven't tested this theory out much. Anyone else believe this to be true.
