littleboat

How long is the length on your slider for the DR? How you keep them from getting tangled up when you reel them in?

You have great timing. What size is you boat and what were the wave conditions? Rollers or chop? Nice catch.

What was your setting on the slide divers?

Was there a partucular hour you noticed more bites?

Good point!

I'm retired, so I can fish during the week. I only go on the weekends when the weather during the week is bad. I see what you mean about retrieving though. Good thing I enjoy fishing enough to put up with the YAHOOS.

I agree. It's all about THEM. I call it video mentally, where it turns into a tunnel vision effect, wiping out the world around them. It's unfortunate, they will miss alot and their "manners" will probably push the button on the wrong person someday? I think I'm going to go back to fishing in the AM, where there are less people.

0 for 1, all I was able to get was a release on a DR with a meat rig. Earlier saw a boat drifting with what looked like no people in it. Pulled my lines to go and see if they had lost power or worst. I wasn't the closest boat, but evidently the only one who would do it. I went over and fortunately they were OK. They were just drifting 5 miles off shore and enjoying it. Very unsettling when someone is concerned that something worst may have happened. They thanked me, but I wished they had done it closer to shore. Also, people at the launch ramp evidently don't know what "good manners" mean. I was cut off by non fisherman while trying to launch my boat, while I was waiting for others to get their act together retrieving their boat. What a mess at the dock. I guess it's about THEM!

Good catch considering the conditions.

Did you 300 with the meat rig have anything else with it, such as a paddle or sd?

Amazing how it is great to be at the right place and right time, having those almost instant hits. Nice size king!

Yes, I remember your post from awhile back about that episode.

Nice size king. I know that wind made it challenging.

Thanks for that update, that's amazing about the catfish and the others. I knew alot of them were bottom feeders, but I'll have to be more careful when I use any lure with the word veggie in it?

Good catch under difficult conditions

Fished 5-6:30, had to cut it short. The waves 3ft+ and chop proved too much for the littleboat. But not 1st without going 1 for 1. 113 fow, north troll, 2.2 sog, 8 color leadcore with a uv veggie spoon. I could not believe what I pulled up way out there? A 6lb plus CARP! I pulled it up to the transom got out my pliers and pulled the hook out of its mouth, letting it swim away. This was a first for me.

Currents were odd as the day moved along. Experienced similar conditon somewhat.

Nice size king for the big one.
