Nice vid Rich, I would’ve liked to have seen more of them hookups but this definitely happens to all anglers, there was definitely a lot of action, but sometimes it jus is what it is, I use a lot of the X raps but I made the decision to put VMC inline singles on em all, now I’m jus waitin on the month of April to see how they do in the Cape Cod Bay Area, can’t wait for the next video 🤙🏼🤙🏼

The Xrap 10 in sardine color is a good lure to fishing snook in Costa Rica. I ussually use the stock triples, but the spool a little soft.

@ben_snow4497 4 жыл бұрын

Try a wider gape hook, in the UK I swap out every treble, even on rapalas, Mustad trebles I use a lot of. and if you can go lighter gauge you’re more likely to set hook, but understandably fish are a lot bigger there. Anyway, still an awesome video! I was impressed how calm you were when that charter went over your line 👌👊

@piratefueljim 4 жыл бұрын

Change stock hooks with Owners treble hooks are circle hooks. Keep the size and weight about the same because it will change the action of the lure

I fish that jetty as well and I have found that when I get super excited about all the fish that I see I start fishing way too fast. Seems that for me or me a really slow soft plastic Seems to outfish any any other artificial but again that's just me. make sure you don't let that kayak out of your site, Sure seems to be a ton of thieves around. You should find a nice day and do a Peck Lake Mackeral session. The amount of bites you can get out there in a day is unbelievable

store bought lures always have dull worthless treble hooks, up here in Washington State its illegal to fish most species with treble hooks. Replace with great quality single hook. The fish will hook better, and stay hooked for most part.

Any fisherman who Fishes knows those bad days, things just don't come together and the harder you try the worse it gets. A change of scenery, a camera free day and back to basics should help shake the break. As we say in South Africa - Stywe Lyne (tight lines)!

Man, those Rapala hooks sucked! It should have been hard for any fish NOT to get hooked on those trebles if you felt the hit. Had to be a sharpness problem, but not something you’d expect from that brand. Shame about that snook with the lure stuck in its mouth. Not blaming you for it: shit happens. Respect for keeping it real and leaving it in the vid'. You could easily have left it out and no one would have known.

Yeah he could have stopped immediately but he kept going and then 100yards up he stopped and checked his prop and kept on going. Evicts are working fine. Just wanted to try this tsunami armar and it was smooth in the beginning but didnt feel so good by the end of the day. :/
