Pirate Clipper - Shakedown Run today....

Shakedown Run Today... Out of the Book!
Bar. - 30.19" F | Winds - NE@12mph | Waves - 2-3's | Water Temp - 37.6° | Water Clarity - Heavy Stain

Just testing gear today, so we didn't want to make a long run. We did run far enough north to get into some cleaner water. With the weather the last 5 or 6 days, we weren't expecting much. We piled enough heartbeats with a valid fishing license on the boat so we could run all the gear. Tested everything, all ok. Hooked up 4 times, landed 3. Enough for dinner!

Set one side Bandits, other side #40 Tru-Trips with P-10's. First 2 fish took P-10 set 40 and 50 back. Landed one and lost one on a Bandit. The Bandit in the photo, only 2 exist, this was a test run. All 5 other colors out never got touched. Think DJ needs to paint more of these! Bandit was 95 back.

Speed: 1.1 kts
Leads: 40' - 50' with #40 Tru-Trips
Direction: East/West, but we weren't serious about fishing today.
FOW: 30'-35'

See complete report, with pictures and map on my fishing reports page. Can't get the links to copy.....

Capt Eric... I have never used the True Trips before, with the set up you were using how deep were the P10’s running?

Captain Eric, what was the color name of that bandit? We could not see the lure.

I didn't realize that I have the only 2 of that color... apparently they were left over from a batch to test. After I posted the picture, got a text from Ivan Brown about it... so I called it IB Nameless! Not sure what Ivan and DJ will come up with, but I heard they're painting a few more to test. I had six Bandits out on that side, add it was the only one that ever got a sniff....
