This last set of tides had a lot of fire in the water where I fish. Simply tieing direct from braid to leader and leader to plug and employing a small (one of my home made) needle fished r-e-a-l-l-y slowly was the ticket, as usual.

The fire in the water is not the problem, it's how you fish it.
I threw everything I had. Fished them all as slow as possible. Maybe it is the amount of fire in the water. Crafty was right, everything looked like a Louisville Slugger. My swivel made a bit of a glow but EVERYTHING was glowing. My line, leader and plug. I was using 30lb Sufix and I could even see that.
