CK Wylie 3/22/2016 Lake Wylie Long Line.

I said this year I was going to give long line a good try. This is probably my 6th time out including last year and this year. Started fishing at 9:15 and stopped 2:45. Got my first limit long line. :biggrin 6 poles in the middle with 1/8th jigs with two outside with 1/16th. White and Chartreuse on the 1/8th and black and Chartreuse on the 1/16th jigs. Started Big Allison and had to fish deep. I was in 23 feet of water trying to get down to 15 to 16 feet. Had to go .7 with 1/8th to get down. never had a double I was just picking them up one at a time. I had one streak of 5 that got off at the surface. That was frustrating. I saw small schools hanging around the bottom with laydowns so I went over them. I just kept on picking them off one by one. 1:00 I went to Little Allison to try a choke point and it paid off with some big ones. Same thing .7 or .8 in 20 foot water. Only caught one on the 1/16th jig
I learned some things that I hope will payoff in the future. 20 fish total weight was 19.10 pounds. Found some big Daddy Slabs. Quality was good today. Not many chips. I think smallest kept was 10 inches.
Second fish had to make sure it was 8 inches. :biggrin

Congratulations CK on that limit of nice fish.Looks like you may need to get a bigger measuring device !!(you know there's a fella on here that make some custom,one of a kind measuring boards)! Thanks for the report and pictures

Nice!!

Good catch CK. You stick with that longlining and it'll pay off BIG TIME for ya. Congrats on your day and catch.:)

Nice, always a sense of pride when you take new knowledge to the lake and successfully apply it. Congrats on the nice limit catch.

Just a thought, your jigs are likely riding close to the hook point, you could bend them out some to avoid weak hook ups?
Looks a flounder hook?

CK you done good! Now you can teach me how to do it better

Way to go on the limit!!!

CK, glad you succeeded in getting it down pat.:woohoo I wanted to go yesterday but things didn't pan out. You back at the same place you were Saturday? I hope to get out there today. Thanks for the report and enjoyed the picture of your second fish I would measure it too!:Rofl

Congrats on the limit of longline fish. :)

That long lining really works good, when you learn it, it will pay off, I done that for about 6 or 7 year straight , all year long, used to killem that way.

Nice that you were able to put a limit of quality fish in the boat. Thanks for sharing the post and pictures.

Congratulations! You'll be addicted to trolling, now. Next thing you know, you'll have 24 rods out at a time.

What length rods you using for long lining? I will be purchasing up to 10 rods soon for my arrival in sc, thank you. Tim

Congrats on a real good day CK.
Thems some fine looking belly fillers.

Depending on your rod holders setup might determine your rod length. But for me 8 is all I want to handle. 2 14ft on outside next 2 11 feet 2 9 feet and 2 7 feet. They main thing is what gap you are comfortable with throwing them out turning and bringing them in.
