Weekend report

[freddie]

Fished in 35' of water, from the NW corner to the SW corner of Kelley's all weekend. TONS of big marks. Could not believe how many marks we were getting in places.

Program changed a little throughout the day each day, and there wasn't any certain big ticket lure. I'd say TT40's 54' back with worm harnesses @ 2.2-2.4mph were the most productive. Also caught fish on dipsey's with worm harnesses, and deep tail dancers (both size 9 & 11)

Sunday was the best day, but also fought off some junk fish. Went out yesterday, further than most boats were venturing.

What brand/size swivels does everyone use when towing TT40's? And what about smaller swivels when pulling crankbaits?

I lost 3-4 fish (and a TT40, a worm harness, & a crank bait) due to swivel failures this weekend, and I've never really had this issue before. I had been using some beefy Danielson swivels with the TT40's, but all the sudden this weekend, every one of them would pull the split ring out of the swivel without much effort. Drags were not too tight, I wasn't too deep, etc.
