I’ve heard of it but not done it. I’ve also heard of rigging a tube backwards but haven’t tried that either. I have put one of my versions of a slab buster inside of a tube, just dinking around until my wife caught a 6.5# green fish on it.
I plan to launch at Hartley and work my way towards Mutton if the water is clear, if not I can go down lake towards Edge Island. I use a homemade jiggling spoon similar to a Hopkins Shorty 75.
Before we started selling off property, I wore a pistol every time I went to a particular one. There was always someone wondering around on it and most of the time they were armed. The only other time I carry is at night on Stockton when I am by myself.
It crashed into one of our dining room windows while chasing a junco. I sat there adelpated for about 15 minutes before it flew away. I thought it might have to go through the concussion protocol before it could play again.
2 Gloomis glx bait casters, mbr 844c and bcfr 863c, tomorrow I will be putting shrink tubing on the handles and mounting a couple of spare Curado 200 E 7s. I believe they will fit right into my Gloomis 844 and 843 line ups.
I crossed the James on the way south, up and muddy. I swung by Cape Fair on the way back from getting a couple of rods from Ken. Rolling mud with debris in the James and pretty dingy in the Flat. I believe that I will go north for a while as I have never been able to catch fish in cold muddy water.
