I got in a new batch of hooks. These red ones are the proper size for the spoons I'll be making. Now I just need proper size split rings. I tested the action with a spoon half that uses a red hook. It was much better than I expected. The proper hook really allows these to wobble very nicely.
>>938949If you are jigging and want a tight line, use a drop shot rig. You should be able to feel it suddenly go slack if a fish takes the lure on the down stroke.
>>938940Egh.
>>938958Time for comfy.
>>938960It'd be nice if he made some cordage from plant fiber and used it for fishing line.
>>938918I'm just glad it finally got cold enough to snow. I'm hoping everything deep freezes and I can go out on some ice. Though, the local morons tend to do donuts on the 4" ice with their ATVs so it just depends...
>>938929You should really check your location's consumption advisories for fishing. Some rivers you can't eat anything at all from. Other places you can't eat certain fish at all. Still others you can eat anything but they have guidelines for how much you can eat in a week/month. And, a mix of the latter two.
