SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

Day started rather poor as action was slow, a little bumpy, and we dropped the first 4 fish but then got our act together and went 4 for 5 in last hour . One low 20's king, a couple of teenagers and a nice steelie

Bst lures were Gator SD/Fly on 250 wire and 42snd SD/Fly on a 230 wire . We had 3 hits on Carbon 14 Moonshine on a 70' rigger but could not keep them buttoned up

Just a thought:

You sharpening them there hooks. Don't know if you do it but, check them before you put them out. I've been doing it a lot this year before I send them down, makes a world of a difference. Sometimes 1, 2 or all 3 barbs are dull as all heck. One of those things ya gotta get in the habit of doing if your not already

good luck

Yep - I routinely sharpen - and these were sharp - they will skewer anything including fingers, pants, etc - as I thought more about it I have had a bad time this spring staying buttoned up on the moonshine lures - struggled last time out staying hooked up on the rachet jaw???????

Was out today - 6 for 6 - mostly paddle fly

Oh well - life happens
