try ripping the line off the water as you reel in. keep the tip low to the water and rip it up in the air and it takes some of it away. It doesn't get rid of it all but it helps to prevent it from balling up on the line. I find it hardest to get off the line once it clumps. Pain in the butt still though

We put 5 in the boat at Grande(sp?) lost 2 more and released one under size on Tuesday all on hoochies from 70' down to 125'. Water was totaly clear tuesday lots of brown crap on the lines though . Well worth the $250 in fuel to get over there....I guesslol
Wow, I can do it for about about $160 from McDonald Beach and back, sure would help if certain people would pitch in for fuel. I've started going out on my own more now and getting to keep more fish as well as losing way less gear.

We lost 2 on the low slack between 9:30 and 10:30 AM at the Hump yesterday. Both hit a Flamin Hans at 60 and 68 feet on charteuse UV flasher. Had a couple other hits around the same time on our lower rods with bait that never stuck.
The first one we lost right at the boat and the second one a seal took. It was then very quiet for the rest of the day until 6 PM right in close to Cowan’s we had another good hit on the Flamin Hans at 68 feet. Saw the rod pop, but it never stuck. That was it for action.
Heard it was bit wet and rough out there today.

I'm thinking Thrasher is the place to go, I see Sunday and Monday are supposed to be calm so I'm heading over.

Fished the hump today and had one good hit that broke my main line with in the first hour and then nothing. Wife's top rod went off as she and the boy were sleeping in the cabin so I grabbed it as it hammered away, reeled and pulled up and felt a good head shake and a whole lot of nothing. Reel is getting newer line tomorrow. Fish hit at 40 ' on a chartreuse taser with herring and chartreuse flasher. Spent the rest of the day fighting the very strong current and yes the algae is think right now, check the gear often . Seals were savage today, had 2 follow me from passge to the hump and were with me most of the day, by the end it was a game of who would break and leave first , me or the seals. My friends lost one to a seal and hand bombed another 10 lber before the seal got it another boat out of my marina hit 3 north of thrasher also up around 40 ' . See you out Saturday on 88.

Hey dmurph
Good to hear your having some hits out there , hey how long are your leaders ?
I'm usually running 5 1/2 feet now with some luck but looking to dial in a bit and maybe my leaders are to long or short ??
Good luck out there and if you out on a Mon or Tues , I'm on 88a (those are my days off for the next 6 weeks then might change)

I've made the same mistake for a few years where I wait too long to get over to Thrasher. I keep thinking about saving gas by fishing the Hump but then miss out and I've never had much of a seal problem at Thrasher which is nice. Lets hope the wind predictions are correct.

Ya , I am all for the winds staying down, last 2 times to the Hump I damn near ended up in the drink a few times . But funny I didnt see any seals , it was even to lumpy for them.

Hey Clint, I run 6' most of the time and I run rod length from release clip to the flasher and troll at 2.3 to 2.5 most of the time. Used to run way longer from clip to flasher until Gary and Terri from Bonnie told me to shorten it up, I then started catching salmon. I may head to the other side for Monday Tuesday as well. I would go this weekend but I entered the derby on Sunday. Only like to run across for over night trips and fish a few days to make it worth it.
Wow, I can do it for about about $160 from McDonald Beach and back, sure would help if certain people would pitch in for fuel. I've started going out on my own more now and getting to keep more fish as well as losing way less gear.
Well we did actually run from Rocky Point and that was return for $250 so its not as bad as it sounds
