The Chute

After a meeting this morning I went to the Chute and launched the boat about 10. The wind was blowing straight down the chute making it hard to go with the wind or against it. I tried with the wind first and was beginning to worry when the first fish “glommed” my Booyah. “Glommed” means the fish didn’t hit hard, it was just there. It looked to weigh about 2-13 but was actually 3-6 because it was so fat. Shortly thereafter I caught another and then another bit but on the way to the boat became hung up on something underwater. I could see the fish and was not too concerned as I made my way over to get it unhung. All of a sudden the line went slack but it had not broken. My clip was still attached. The wire on the Booyah had broken in the neck of the bait. If a Booyah has a flaw, that’s it because I’ve had it happen many times. However the fish love them and I’m still going to use them. After that I had a long drought with no bites what so ever. I was considering going home probably due to my experiences last year but there was one more good place I wanted to try. When I got there sure enough I caught one, and another and another. The fish were on the feed. After catching a few more, the fish started missing the bait. I saw two separate fish swirl out to get the bait and some way I kept from snatching, waiting for them to get the bait. They both tried again but both missed again. This was telling me the bite was ending. I ended up with 8 and two 3-6 FOD’s. The boat ran great since the tune up and the new depthfinder was good too. It’s processor is faster and several other things are better than the other one but the best thing is I can see the sidefinder screen with my shades on.
