Feb 15, 2009; 04:24PM - Make 'Em Last : Save A Grub
|
|
Category: Fishing tips and tricks
|
|
Author Name: Nathan
|
|
Tip&Trick Description 1:
Make your grubs, curly tails, dingers, etc last by sliding the grub past the eye of the hook and then stick a toothpick/shaved wood into the eye and cut the ends. This prevents throwing the grub off even after a few hits. Also play with the cutting to change a lure's action. |

Vulnerable wear and stress points are double reinforced with an extra tough material sewn to the underside of the cover. An unbreakable 1/4' poly draw rope sewn with the perimeter hem enables the cover to be cinched tight to the hull. 1' poly loops are sewn around the perimeter of the cover to accept a Hurricane strap/buckle tie down kit, bungee cords, or rope ties for positive securing to the boat. Built tough to take the exposure and abuse that boat covers are exposed to when trailering, storing, or mooring.

Author Name: Capt. Scott Avanzino

It has been a while since I had the plaesure of posting a decent set of reports..bad weather for most of the winter has kept us at the dock and slow fishing has frustrated us on the days we got out..last week put an end to both..started off the week with grouper and tuna and fishinshed strong with the same..bad news is a few snapper were hungry for live bait and we had to release 8 back to the water with limited prospects for survival....the smallest 15 pounds and the largest pushing 40 pounds...arguably the largest red snapper I have ever seen and 5 weeks too early to brag on..the fish measured 38 inches total length and was probably 10-12 inches between the eyes..he had a mouthful of jewelry..the picture doesn't do it justice..and sadly thats seems to be the only good thing about landing it..you know the end result and it too frustrates me that we aren't allowed one incidental catch when we are targeting something else...after about 3 hours on Saturday catching 5 gag grouper from 10 - 46 pounds we headed foI the Lump..when we crossed into the bluewater..we had wished we had packed a few kayaks as the standing waves in the current topped 6 feet along the edge..made our way to the Lump with a wahoo spread with no luck..arrived 2 hours later with time to make one drift..picked up a blackfin with one minute of soak time..then two kings before the one we were looking for swirled on a bait..one hour later we had a 131# yellow in the boat..settled in for the bumpy ride in very happy that things turned out better than expected..Thursday we never made it to the tuna grounds but had plenty of fun with scamps, gag grouper and limits amberjack. Two of the scamps were over twenty pounds..Friday we had grouper and tuna all caught in the same place with the largest gag 30 pounds and the largest tuna 131# (the first of three tuna weigheing 131# to the ounce on 3 consecutive days). Capt. Sonny and Darryl went yesterday with two anglers finishing early with 3 gag grouper and two yellowfin weighing 75 and 131#...all fish have been taken using live goggle eyes which showed up strangely about a week ago..we have been catching the tuna drifting live baits or from a kite on anchor...
Back at it again tomorrow for more of the same... WEBSITE Paradise Outfitters - 985-845-8006
