THE HAPPY HOOKERS FIRST REPORT

[FREEMAN77]

well went out of sandy around 7am fished east for a few hours with nothing but two lost fish :x not a good start. came in and went back out around 10 till 12 and went west found some real warm temps around 45F fished in as close as we could around the points 5-6 fow and got a few nice stillies and one real nice brown. but............we lost another 4 fish :roll: that was really getting old I think my releases were to strong the fish would not even set them off. went back out around 2-4 and had one more hook up another big fish but again was lost the night trip was hard fishing with some bigger waves starting to kick up. all in all was a good first trip on the happy hooker we will be back out this week.

my pinch releases get a little sticky the last time out i used some silicone reel lub and it helped a lot,with so few hits id more blame it on the fish not being to agressive and what i call short hits or you forgot your hooks

yeah it also could be that but the releases sounds better lol
