I picked the wrong side today. Same pole different side . What's wrong with me  Had to watch as guys had fish all morning where I was catching yesterday. I blamed it on my buddy who has been my bad luck charm all year when I fish with him. Me Stupid. |

some fish have a very strong will to live
suck it up and try again
I use 300 Yards of braid with a small amount of mono backing just so it doesn't spin on the spool. I believe in the canal you need 300 yards for times like that where it can make a difference. I use 50-65 lb braid , not 80 lb.
atleast you were able to wlak the fish down a ways
I bet the fish worked the plug out, I have had them do it too me while still attached to my line, I find it easier to keep fish on jigs out of the rocks in close than fish on plugs.
maybe I need an 11 ft plugging rod too, someday soon.
I had that date on my calendar for months  just couldn't blow work off that morning so I tried yesterday, obviously not as good as thursday 
I think that was the canal payback for leaving her so much this year tuna fishing  |
