Nice summary and good perspective on the *release-fish*.
Hard to see all the work swim away, but great to look forward to another day on the water, chasing those forkies ;-) Atta Boy! |

It was a pleasure meeting you and sharing the water with you Mark. The current was rough today. It took me forever to get back to the launch. Glad u got one. What brand of hooks are you using if you don't mind me asking. Whatever they are, switch to Owner.

I think they're mustad, got them a walmart. I always thought they seem to be a little thin. they are strong like springs but also brittle when bent too far. I'm going to see if Turners has a better option or check other fishing shops. I used to use live bait hooks but circle hooks work much better, they just need to be a bit thicker.

I've been pretty happy with Gammy 4/0 live bait hooks.

I think the guy in the background shorted you a couple inches.
He needs to spread those hands out a bit farther, obviously not a fisherman. |

Nice fish and a great day for sure. In your post you said you were trolling a tady 45. Never heard of trolling a surface iron. Does that work for you? Mike

I tried it because it was already rigged on one of my rods and wanted one line on either side while slow paddling to balance the resistance. The other side had a flylined greenback. It got hit a couple times but not solid enough to hook up.

Check out owner gorilla circles. Seems that's exactly what you're looking for. Nice fish mark. Making me jealous. |

Just wanted to set the record straight. After looking at my gear the hooks to blame were not Mustad they were Gamakatsu octopus circle hooks. After looking at them at the store it seem as all the Gamakatsu hooks are thinner. All the other brands when the hook uses that thin a wire they call them "lights or thin wire". I got some Owner Mutu Circle hooks and can't wait to go use them. The weather is not co-operating with the wind. Looks like Tuesday might be the best day before I go back to work. Also picked up a new rod to replace the broken one I had tried to fix. Ready to pull some more Yellows and get the deck and me all bloodied.
