Thread: Call it quits night edition

good job; beat back the skunk!

Went back out last night, and pulled in seven little guys. Beautiful night, I think it got into the 70s during the day. Some pretty bad weather coming this weekend.

They seemed smaller than usual again, but what a great time. The bite was a little quicker, although I will tell you that they certainly “played” with the bait quite a bit before sinking the bobber. I had one gut hook, but the trout magnet jig hook really does seem the perfect size for this kind of fishing. I’ve lost track of my no gut hook streak since I started using them

That means the bobber's too big. Fish don't "play". They're trying to inhale the bait, but the float is too buoyant.

I was afraid of that. I use a lighted one at night. I went to a smaller one, but for these tiny fish it is probably still too big. I can use a thill w/ a glow stick, but I hate "wasting" a glow stick for such a short time.
