Losin Lures Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Started on a northwest throll about 2 miles north of holland in 90ft. First fish hit in about 115 with the second as we put the first in the cooler. Didn't hit another fish until we got to 140ft of water and finished 5/10 staying in the 135 to 150 fow range. Mountain dew spin doctor with a yeck mountain dew glow fly 180 back on 3 was the most consistant going 2/4, with the blue chilly willy and a 11" pro chip with an oceana rapture fly also taking a pair of hits. Only one fish hit the full core which we lost. Sharpen your hooks. A dull hook on the oceana fly probably cost me 2 fish tonight.Mike
GLF Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Welcome to the site, and thanks for the report Mike! I will be sharpening all of my hooks the next time I head to my boat.
Priority1 Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 Welcome to the site Mike. Thanks for the report. I hear you on the sharp hooks. My thumb nails get pretty rough checking hooks. A good way to go is to start the year with all sharp hooks. When you use a lure don't put it back in the box until the hooks are checked and sharpened if needed.
Losin Lures Posted August 3, 2007 Author Posted August 3, 2007 Thanks for the welcome. What made me mad about the dull hook is that it was brand new. Never thought to check it. That'll change.
