Let's have the 2014 Fishing Reports.
Holy crap CP, what you do to them fish?
Looks like a Mafia hit. LOL
Nice catch though!
Tips
Got it close the surface 30 yards back of the boat and it gave a tremendous surge and pop went my main line. That's twice now in three trips.
Fished 8:45am till 1:15pm today, Flat calm till we came in then an East wind with chop made the run back bumpy.
We trolled at various depths all along Bluffs and the Trailer Park for two hours with not so much as a touch. Eventually went round Otter to west side and got a decent hit on blue and white glow squirt at about 100'. Put a decent bend in the rod but came up fairly easily so I did not let the drag off. Got it close the surface 30 yards back of the boat and it gave a tremendous surge and pop went my main line. That's twice now in three trips. Did not have another blue/white like that so put on an army truck squirt and got one shaker and a little 4lb fish in the same area. Anchovy on the other side never got touched.
Beauty afternoon for January. Sure beats the frozen East!!
Was that one of the blue/glow squirts I gave ya?
Have a good look at your rod eyes, make sure you don't have a rough spot that's causing wear on your line. Always a good habit to strip off a 10-20 feet now and again and retie, most breaks happen at the knot.
Sometimes its just bad luck or just loose the drag up, slow down and enjoy it.
