Ashtabula 8/22

[DW72]

Sorry....I forgot a few things. The best fishing was 74-75 FOW. I ran bandits. The best lead for number of bites was 3 oz snaps at 50/200. All the big fish were 5 oz at 50/170 though. One big one 5 oz at 50/185.

And.....in past trips we had no cell signal beyond like 8 miles out. They must have put a new tower up somewhere because I had 5G all day! I was like 15 miles from the launch. Much more peace of if mind.

Will let my fishing partner sleep in and skip the frenzy at the launch today. We have all day so will enjoy.
Will also lighten the drag a lot for those straight down runs and big head shakes at the back of the boat.😂

Is that 200 total line out or 250

Is that 200 total line out or 250

the way I understand it's 200' of line out add the 3oz weight then let out 50' more, for a total of 250' of line out. the first number in line out without weight then after attaching the weight the second number is how much more line you let out after attaching the weight.

the 50/200 is 200' of line out attach the 5oz weight then let out another 50' of line out.
