Water was insanely warm thanks to the north winds. Took a bit last evening but we dialed into some matures including a triple header with the biggest being 21 lbs.
The wednesday we did okay was 100-130 with bite being between 50-70. But on the sunday east wind had pushed warm water in, and inside 130 it was 48-50° on bottom and so were the fish. Hope the last few days of west wind have moved it.
having great luck with kings on braid divers, now the fleas have arrived so I recently purchased a shimano tdr 9' MH to hopefully run wire line. the tip looks to be all sealed around the guide. I tried heating up the guide and tip with a lighter but it would not budge. anyone have experience modifying these rods or better off buying another one that it will remove easily.
ho's n bows in the mix now. hit 13 fish the other night, no size really, but fun if you wanna keep busy, kept the riggers down deep for the lakers, and divers, leadcores high for the rest.
last 2 outings I have ran a church board with stickbaits and I cannot get it to track smoothly. the board hops and digs on dead flat calm days. on outside turns it skips across the water. I have adjusted the sliding weight from center to all the way back and no change. is this normal or is it better for slower trolling? speed usually 2-2.3 mph. it catches fish its just hard to tell when the small ones hit
were you guys in the pack off pt weller? we headed towards daley this afternoon, but water was gin clear and 38 dg. didn't go in tight, instead trolled to weller where we found 45 dg temps. salvaged the trip with a 16 lb greaser.
we went out on the Friday the 17th in the aft, 4 kings, 2 browns. guys were pounding bottom and getting easy lakers out a bit deeper. haven't heard much lately tho.
