Two fish came off the lipless crank/planer board, no weight.
Third fish off of long-lined Rapala, no weight.
One fish about 16”, other two about 15”.
No food in their bellies which surprised me.
P.S. I am a ‘frugal angler’ like yourself, but go treat yourself and run those LC’s.
I look at LC’s this way:
If I don’t ruin them/lose them while fishing, after I die my wife will just sale them for .25 cents at my ‘going away’ yard sale.
Pro Tip: One day ask me what the protocol on my boat is when we lose an LC!
Hi Shane. I'm amazed those fish hit so high in the water column. Although, the perch I caught hit my Thin Fin running at 6-7' down in 23 FOW. Maybe next trip I'll run my LCs.
Although, I spent a few hours yesterday cleaning the boat, even my seat boxes had hundreds of midges in them. I'm thinking of pulling the floorboards, seats, etc, to take a look underneath and thoroughly clean the bilge. Heading to the coast in August again, I want everything tidied up. You should take your boat over, it's awesome.
Single main, no kicker.
