John - wasn't that movie "Grumpy Old Men III" or something?
Sorry to hear aout the boat problems. Been there & done that. Sometime I'll explain the intricacies of disassembling an i/o lower unit while still attached to the trasnsom due to a corroded (fused) gimbal bearing....
Have you worked this area during the daytime before? Mucho boulders to reach out and touch someone if you're not careful.
If the herring was frozen and then thawed, you'll get that response. Tackle goues one way and herringhte other. Sometimes, if you don't have fresh dead herring it's best to have it slightly frozen (better than fully thawed) as it tends to stay hooked longer and become a time release bait as it warms quickly under water... If you're really hurting for herring and it's extremely mushy, you may have to resort to threading the herring on. Sometimes more trouble than it's worth... If you try it again, don't overlook the dreaded trusty drifted worm...
Yeh, I just hit it for a hour or so... I've got to get a pump for the livewell and go to church ;D
