Merry Christmas Paul -- 117 Days til Launching Day!
Here's my Christmas Tube present -- (this is part of my morning charter orientation) watch the tips like a hawk, but resist any and all temptation to grab the rod when the fish first hits. Little bass will just pile on, but big fish will bump it a couple of times first, and then come back around and crush it.
It's kind of like, bump.. bump.. pause.. bump - CRUSH. If you try and set the hook yourself on the first one you'll miss your good fish. Let it hook itself right in the rodholder.
Be patient, if they don't come back - reel up, it got your worm.
Also - crank it tight in the outrodder, and then pick it up -- most fish are lost just getting the rod out and situated.
Happy Holidays.
