Dropped it straight down until it hit bottom. Then lifted it off the bottom with occasional upsweeps of the rod tip. Most hits came just as it was lifted off the bottom. Slow, short session but beautiful day.

YakDout · 07-10-2014, 02:26 PM

How big were the waves at the launch mrPtrick?

tacmik · 07-10-2014, 02:37 PM

Waves at tideland are maybe, just maybe 1 to 2 inches if that.

If you time the sets just right Tidelands should not be much of a problem. Just take your time launching.

Darn Matt, it's the landing at Tidelands that will get you, maybe a whole foot when the wind is at your back.

Wow, except for leaving out the color of your line this is the most detailed fishing report I've seen in a long time.

Oh, and by the way knowing the fpf* is far more important than the ppm.

Sounds like you had a good day, and thanks for the laugh (report).

fpf: fish per fathom.

^ I get ppm, what is fpf?
Thanks for the info.

FPF would assume that a fathom's measurement is common knowledge.

Fathom @ 6'
Most fish were caught in 7 fathoms

Line color was white
8# Fireline Crystal straight to the lure ultra sensitive with straight braid.
