Fishing Notes |
---|
4lb bright green line, 1/16 ounce head. Boat needed to be in 25 to 35 feet. Fish were 14 to 20 feet deep. Did a 20 to 25 count down after casting before engaging the reel, very slow retrieve with occasional pop or opening the bail and letting the bait drop, then they would hit it. Wind really limited where you could fish. Vertical presentation did not really work this trip. Liberal smearing of garlic helped get a few extra bites. 6 to 12 inches visibility. |
