Hook or Bait? - 05/25/14 03:06 PM
Ran my lines again this morning. Once again if I did not have fish on them I would have thought somebody had already ran my lines. I don't know if it is the circle hooks I'm using, 3/0 Eagle Claw, or if the baits I'm using are too large, 3/4" x 3/4" x 1/8", but I've reduced the size of the baits to see if I can get more hook ups. It's a 25 hook setline and I'm taking 2 to 5 lbs channels off it everyday, but I'd like more if all my baits are missing every time I run it. Here are the results from this morning. First drum of the year on a trotline for me. It appears they will eat soap too, or he might have bitten a blank hook, but usually I've caught about a dozen of them by now. The lake was like glass this morning. I wish I had the time to stop and catch a limit of white bass on top as well because they were schooling hard in every cove.
