What a morning. Couldnt keep em hooked up.

Ended 1 for 7 plus a shaker steelie.

Surface was 55 at pierheads at 5:30, and back to 68 by noon.

Fished everywhere from 60-160. Only boxed fish was 16lb king in 82fow on a rigger 65 down with mag double trouble.

Lost 3 fish on mag lemon ice, dispy set 2 back 150, in 140,120,and 82FOW

Lost 2 on rigger down 55 with blue/orange ladderback in 90 and 81FOW

Couldnt buy a bite on flasher/flies! Confusing especially with everybody raving about them.

Do spin doctors make that much difference??? I was using bechhold and son 8inch fish catchers, with hypnotist and blue hypnotist flies. Any advice is GREATLY appreciated.

at least i beat the skunk, and it was a beautiful morning.

In answer to your question about do Spin Dr's make a difference. The answer is yes. It's about the action that they have. Now, each flasher/attractor has it's day. I've had days this year when I was running pro-troll paddles and spin dr's together. One day the pro-trolls would take hits, the next the spin dr's would. It has a lot to do with the fishes attitude. Don't be affraid to run some 10 or 11 inch attractors too.

Nice job Joe.

How are you rigging your spin doctors and flies? How much line between SD and fly, and what holes on the SD?

I was running 8in fish bechholdnson fishcathchers. Connected in the hole on the right where the fin comes to the bottom. Flies were roughly 32in behind.

Perhaps a shorter lead? And im goin to pickup a couple spin drs and pro trolls to expand my spread

on a 8 inch flasher you should have 18 to 24 inch leaders mine are all 18 to 20 inches

The general rule of thumb is 3x attractor length for leads plus or minus a few inches. On big paddles the leads can be a bit longer then 3x attractor length.
