I will give them a try!

Really tightened my tension tonight and tripled my release to fish on rod rate! thanks for the advice!

yup.

I have been dealing with a lot more rigger releases with no fish than in past years. As I troubleshoot should I increase tension on my rigger release to ensure a tighter/longer rigger to fish connection? For example, last night I targeted lakers in 130 fow over 150 fow out of I Bay. Formula was easy as marks were plentiful. Easily had 10 rods pop and only felt 2 fish on the rod. Thoughts? Encountered a similar issue with browns but assumed my stick baits were bumping bottom.

Laker bite was bananas 🍌! Screen was covered along a predictable grid of water which was cool. Wonderbread on rigger 130 ft over 140-160 fow took five in an hour. All fish 10# or more with the largest near 20#. Pretty sure I was not a pioneer today as I simply followed a dozen boats into the hole.

Good work. Saw you out there enjoying the day!

Long Shallow did the trick today. Several came to the net similar to the pics and everything in between. Calm seas were a welcome sight. Trolled the shoreline and stuck with 17 fow.

Same here. Took a couple kids with me. And replaced my double digit days with a zero!!

Smacked a king this morning and a ton of browns out of I-Bay. Got wet but stayed relatively warm.
