Dave's Pick
- 4 Star Family Boat
The
big new is Ambrose is coming alive. Waves of fish are begging to make their
trip there and the numbers show it. This week they had fish to 7 pound and
that, my boys and girls should improve over the days to come.
Meat strips
are the ticket here...use the white belly of the fluke with some meat.
Also, the Green Mister Twisters are a must here. Green spinner rigs will
also come in handy, but they are not my favorites because the hooks on these
rigs are sad, very sad. Be sure to change their hooks with better quality
hooks. The silver bullet was not effective because the fish were not that
aggressive, they're laying on the bait, you must let them feed on it when
you feel the weight on the line. The three Mississippi count will do just
fine. That's why I
love to fish with Spectrum line...you can feel their teeth literally grabbing
the hook...unlike regular fishing line. That's how sensitive fishing can
be at times.
Six feet of 20 pound fluoro carbon, shock leader is a must, however, don't
ever tie it straight to your rig or the line will show in the water like
a red flag. Caught my limit on my day on the Sea Queen and fished with the
kids. Weather still holding out...thank you very much to the big Kahuna
in the skies.
P.S. Jerry, I have a cigar for you the next time around.
