Niantic Report 8/19 and a new outboard on the Gemma Rose

Decent day, but really a chance to run the new engine for the first time. Also caught my first blues on a fly rod (I'm pretty much a newb), and not sure what I think. My initial impression of using the fly rod is kind of like fishing with a rubber band. I'm not sure I'm that thrilled about it, but it does have a place in the arsenal, so becoming more proficient is a goal. I imagine it would be cool on some monsters, but I felt as though I was missing some of the contact with the fish and thus the fight. Not sold, but certainly not ready to abandon this aspect of fishing. Anyway, watch the report!
