[ocurtis]

Sorry for the late report. I was out on the new red Hobie outback. great day, and I am hoping for some help! I got away from all the crazy boaters. got into a perfect area... Dophins hunting and bait started jumping on the surface so I threw a sabiki and got a huge Sardine. I pinned it on, and started slow trolling. I got hit HARD, ran for 5 seconds and it let go. I ended up reeling in a dead, bloody bait! the 2 Yakers next to me both hooked up solid. broke my heart.

So here is my question; I had my reel on free spool with the clicker on so there would be some resistance. in hindsite I should have fly lined him since it was such a fishy area and I knew i was in the right spot. But for slow trolling, what did I do wrong???

I ended up with three nice Calicos for tacos
