It is yet again proven that TubeDudes formidable skill is no match for my bad luck! [
] However, it's always a privilege to suck up all the skunk luck away from other fishermen! Though I wouldn't call it a pleasure. [img]../../../images/gforum/laugh.gif[/img]
Funny that you'd mention it TD, but I did find myself thinking the same thing, that for this type of fishing, and the changing wind conditions - those tubes had some definite advantages over my larger vessel.
It is quite probable that I missed inquiries while I was navigating, or adjusting the anchor, or asking my son "What the heck was that partially garbled thing he said on the walkie talkie Conner?" [laugh] I was grateful for every piece of assistance though - and especially the debriefing at the cleaning station. With the other, admittedly few, channel kitties I've caught, there was no mistake when they were on the line and not much finesse was needed like there was this time. The trip provided a few baby more steps in understanding a few more tactics and exposing the gaps in my "fishing system" that are large enough for the Titanic to float thru! [cool]
And thanks to Wildcat94 for letting us lower his limit so he could keep fishing and I could have a few kitties at the BBQ. Yummy! []
