Jim, excellent report!!
There is an old saying “fishing will teach you patience”. I think, sometimes “fishing pisses me off”!! But, well worth the adventure! Awesome job on the triple! Nice to see you back into the chase. Ken |

Here's the pics. Not as good as they could have been, but then I'm not the photobeeyatch that Ken is .
I also didn't take my time since the sight of those 3 nice fish had me chomping at the bit to get out. Congrats again Jim, hell of a catch. |

Iron Help?
Congrats man, a triple slam. I tried working the iron all afternoon with no luck. Come to think of it the only thing I've ever got on iron is a hefty sand bass. Can you bestow some iron technique wisdom upon this angler apprentice? Thanks in advance

to bdkirby
bdkirby, I am no expert at this. The irons that I been using lately are the Tady C and the Tady 45 light. around the kelp. I took the a Tady C and strip all the paint off of it I use it on overcast days and have had good success with it so maybe color does not matter that much. All I can say is look for signs of live like jumping bait fish that looks like somthing chasing them. boiling fish and rolling fish. On the boiling fish I cast it out and start reeling right away If I do not get a bite the next cast I let it sink to a count of twenty before reeling. Also being in the right place at the right time and plain stupid luck Like I had the other day. And also trust your gut feeling if you go through and area and think that you should throw the iron do it even though there are no signs of live. I can not tell how many times that has work for me or maybe its that stupid luck working again. Sometimes you just got to keep at it. The day will come and you will nail them on the iron. There is nothing like catching a yellow on the iron and with the surface iron sometimes you can see the yellow come out of nowhere and hit your iron. Good luck and keep at it. Jim.

Thanks Jim
Thanks Jim, that is the best iron advice I've received. I'll keep trying the irons and see if I can't get hooked up like that. I've noticed the bait fish are getting a little more scarce this last week so the lures become the only option under such conditions.

Quality fish Jim. Nice TRIFECTA.
BTW - I would not expect you to remember, but earlier this year you gave me some on the water advise while I was shooting some pics of your WSB + YT catch. It was in regards to rigging for trolling live bait. Well, I recently had a memory recall and have been using this technique - which has been very productive on the YT's for me lately. SO - here's a belated Thank YOU for the advise. Cris |
