Lol at throwing 6 and 8" Hudds on 12# YZ line. That's internet for "I've never thrown them." I use 20# CXX for 68s, and that's probably on the low side. Most guys use 25#. CXX is not skinny line either.

Looks fine to me.

I've seen this too.

Nah man, go back to a soda can and string if you really want to be sporting.

LOL, yep they bite when they are hungry.

Try tying 100# Fluorocarbon Leader for pike fishing. The larger the diameter, the bigger the knot, and the harder it is to tie. As diameter increases, that difficulty increases, and it's not linear.

I think you can accumulate confidence in what you are doing is right through all the successes.

Me three!

Any chance it's emissions from the transducer itself causing the negative response?

It's high time you guys stop going on about purple worms on the internet. I said black and motor oil. Also, Sangiovese grapes taste best, fermented. Just saying.

A tube is quite a bit different from a ned rig.

Amen to that! Learning to "swing" spoons and cranks is a bit of an art. I like to make a quartering cast, and as the bait swings into the current, you adjust the speed. With floating cranks it's a little easier, since the depth is fixed. Spoons and spinners are a little more difficult. The more I think about the original issue, the more I think this is a retrieve speed issue, and as @Scott F said current plays a big part.

My old siamese (RIP) used them to escape. Took me a while to figure out how he was getting out until I finally caught him in the act. I gave up and just let him out when he wanted.

On what planet did a builder think that was a good design?

Hard for me to do better than black or motor oil.

You're going to find that in almost every case, fishing a golf course is going to end up being trespassing. Illegal activities are not only discouraged here, but forbidden. This thread is closed. https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/guidelines/

I don't think the difference in stretch between 6# mono and 8# fluoro is enough to matter, so it's probably something else. As far as the baits not running true, that's usually from going too fast, or you're fighting too much current.

Are you losing fish on 6# due to abrasion, or are they just breaking off?

LOLOLOL

Yep. Amazing. Also, the weather stripping on the front hatch was coming off. If it was mine I wouldn't be too happy that my cushions were crammed in the head.

About five seconds in. Skiing or tubing isn't gonna be fun, lol

I think the hot bucket theory works to explain this one. It's too bad.

It was 7 yesterday, 6 today, and will back up to 7 or higher the next week. Our latitude actually gets more direct rays from the sun. Try again.

What color are these?
