Posts: 4266 | Thanks Snax. I had a limited number of blanks, and got a little greedy and put them all in my box. The one in the picture was supposed to be lunce for a mid to upper 40" fish on Friday, but I had some issues. I paused the lure right in a milfoil inside turn, and she came out of 20+ feet of water and tried to swallow it head first. She was only 15' from the boat, so I saw her grab it and turn and head back towards the deep, and when I set the hooks, I fealt little resistance, and when I reeled in the lure, the leader was bent and the lure had sandpaper-type scratches on the top. This has happened before, and I think that when they try to swallow it just like they would a real prey fish, the leader must stop them from ingesting the lure deep in to their mouths. She thought that she had an easy meal, and I thought that I had a 4-footer on one of my lures. Shoulda, coulda, woulda. Short snaps moves the lure nicely, and of course some pauses....great shimmy. Then with longer yanks or sweeps, it'll move 3-4 feet. But that get tiring in a hurry. Then when I throw an 8"er, I feel like I'm throwing a toy!  Todd, let me know what color? I didn't get to throw them all. Who am I kidding....I only lasted 2-3 hours per day  But I can still walk. Several guys mentioned that there should be a handicap permit to let you troll....like hunters shooting out of cars, or cross-bows for handicapped archers. Trolling would get me out on the water a lot more. Maybe relocating to Bemidji is still an option. But I'm not leaving without my daughter! Hell, great hockey for her up there, and I can fish lots more. Maybe before I die. Get a small place on a small lake, just to test lures. Todd, get in touch with me. Beav | ||
