Only -10…. Cold enough for me. I already had enough after one day of fishing on the ice at -1C.

Hey Everyday, i noticed you run your worm with the head of the worm closest to the hook. Is there an advantage to that or is that just the way you like to rock it?

Hatchery?

Hey Everyday, i noticed you run your worm with the head of the worm closest to the hook. Is there an advantage to that or is that just the way you like to rock it?

Both.

I use Holey worms exclusively now, due to how quickly you can change from a regular bait set up, etc to the worm. Great for changing it up on the fly. These worms have the hole down the middle that comes out half way up the worm.

I noticed when running the worms tail down, I was getting a lot of short strikes and losing a lot of fish. When the head is down,  I seem to get way better hook sets and rarely lose fish. I also do seem to hook more with the head down, and it looks better in the water (the tail bounces and flutters around more).

Hatchery?

Yep, all the cutties we hit today were hatchery.

When your float goes down don't strike right away. Tighten line till you feel the fish then strike.They usually don't spit the worm right away but hang on to it. If the fish lets go most likely it will take it again. You get a way higher percent of hook ups with out losing them this way. I have been fishing worms for 40 yrs.

Are you stealing EveryDay`s pictures Rodney?

Tis' the season for metal. Everyone should hope on bored 

Right now with the low water, you can't go wrong with a 2/5 R&B. Copper/orange and silver/gold, and solid silver have been spectacular in the low water. Have also got the odd one on chartreuse/brass and silver/orange! I won't say how many we've hit (tend to get flamed for that), but lets just say it's been A LOT, all on metal!


Trailer broke off while she was thrashing after netting - lucky to land her!
