eyecracker Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Hit it right at day break and went south of the pier in 12-23 FOW, went 6 for 11, 5 coho and 1, 7lb, steelie. Lost 4 of the 5 on busted lines, needless to say I'll be modifying my equipment as this was my first time out. Everything we used was orange and something else but they all had orange, mostly Rapala's so yea, it bites losing $50 in lures but at least it was on fish and not on snags.
wild at heart Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Good Job, sounds like with the 17 degree tepms and the 0 degree wind chill you got mixed up and brought the ice fishing LINE. hahaha

But u got some fish and had a good day. See you out there next weekend boat goes in Thursday or Friday. Look out for us at the Joe. Mike (Supertramp) ChamberlinBoat MC2

Seawolf XI Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Use strait 20 and splice in a a piece of lighter flourcarbon if you wanna be cute.... i use 15lb personally in the spring....the 20 can handle the pull and wear of the boards much better.
fishinmachine2 Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Nice job!!!! Thanks for the report!! I'm hoping to be heading down there next week!!!Scott
