So let me try to cheer you up...
First, YOU'VE BEEN FISHING SINCE WED... Let's trade places (75 hrs this week of work
).
Second, You are getting more experience... you know what they say about that paying off... You know where to fish for them and that's 3/4 of the battle.
Third, use larger baits for the larger fish. Sometimes it's that simple.
Fourth, I suggest the use of a stinger treble hook so that you have a more solid hookup. You can clamp down the barbs so that you don't injure any short fish.
Finally, You're our 'Hero of the Week'. I'm sure others will agree that we are sharing your trips vicariously until we hit the water; hopefully soon
.
P.S. If you see me on the water, you get 2 cans of beer from my cooler...
