Probably true that the dog can see your line better over the other mono lines in the water right next to yours, but he's gonna get ya either way.
As for the fish, they ain't so smart, but they are strong, and so is the kelp, a bunch of my summer yellows would have been buried deep if it wasn't for the spectra. Wasn't an issue last summer, but the kelp is thick and strong this year....as much as I love fishing mono, I find spectra pretty comforting this time of year in LJ |

Hmm. I've been using green powerpro mainline and have not had problems with the dogs. I even had knotthead come right up behind me the other day and not eat the baits. I think the key is giving him the evil eye while repeatedly thinking "these are not the baits you're looking for."

Too funny. I think spectra does help him find your baits easier, but on the rare occasion I use straight mono the dog still does the same thing, finds where my line goes into the water and follows it right down to my bait. I am going to keep using spectra. Losing a few baits to the dog (that he likely would have found anyways) vs. losing a big fish everytime I get kelped isn't a decision at all.

Exactly! Plus, my irons spin better on spectra.

I have been wathching the sea dogs and monday I noticed a few things. This was the first time there were more private boats than yaks a LJ 3-1. Some of you must have been at SCI and WON had a blurb on yellows at LJ.
1. when hooked up keep your rod and your voice low. I noticed this especially on the boats. Someone would yell and a dog would fly over. 2. Clickers are a dinner bell for knothead. I hooked something monstrous and had a hard time taking the clicker off quick. I saw knothead making a bee line for me. My rod tip was low because i had the drag tight and whatever it was didn't stop untill he reached the bottom and I could feel him doing head shakes. Anyway the A hole the dog dives and the fish goes ballistic and then I am slack and extremely p'd. I am thinking of putting on a light drag and adjusting after pick up with the dogs around?? my 2 cents |
