I read this last night

I read the artical last night.
After waking up to the alarm at 5:00, I unpluged the alarm.
Then got up a little after 7:00. Some people think the bite
is best between 8:00 & 9:00, so I knew I had time. Went
to deep water first thing picking up a greenback on the
way out. Although I have cauhgt yellows with irons before,
I had not caught one yo yoing with the 6x. With the artical
that Pat wrote still fresh in my mind, I gave a mighty heave
with the iron. I let it sink to the bottom with the line a little
tight. I felt it hit the bottom and began to reel. I got 2 turns
into it, and I felt the bite. Pat says to keep reeling and let the
rod load up. I did this and knew it was a good hook set. Since
the fish was heading my way I remember Pat says to pull it off
the bottom which I did. Then the head shakes got strong. After
a few tug of wars, I got the fish vertical. Using the rod I pulled
the fish the rest of the way a little at a time until the gaff.
Thanks for the tip Pat

Paul Congratulations! That is the best kind, paddle (or peddle ) out make a cast and bring up a big fiesty fish. You were one of only 2 fortunate souls today that I know.

Iron chucker

Pat,

Great info on the iron tossing. It takes guts to go without bait.
I usually try to have both available, but there have been times when
I slept to late to make bait and slid out after sunrise and stuck one.
When the squid are around having a little GLOW on the iron does't hurt either.

Dave

qoute](although I don't always know what direction the current is going, just where the wind is pushing me.) always look at the direction the kelp is pointing. that will tell you wich way the current is going.

Sorry I wasn't more clear.. I was thinking about the last few trips when wondering where "upcurrent" would be. I was in 90' to 180' of water and not really anywhere near the kelp... But yeah, that is a good method otherwise..

Guys,

Glad the article inspired you!!!

That feeling when the rod loads and the handle stops is addicting!
