Fishing Report Glasgow Morning 7/28/2023

[scrimmy]

Launched at 5:30 and headed out to 64 fow to start, 1 Rigger with slider and 1 dipsy. rigger down 41' and dipsy on 3 back 72'. Caught around 20 by 7:00 AM and tossed back a few small ones and 4 over 7 lbs. 3 mph on the ball. RRF and spoons did the trick but it did not matter what you put down. A smelly sock with a hook would have worked. Best depth was 67 fow. Back and cleaned fish at station and left it in very clean and working condition.

Good fishing once again @scrimmy.
I wish I had known you were out there this morning Wayne I would have called you on the radio.

41 feet down and 20 feet back on the rigger with a slider on as well. The rigger had about 8 doubles with 1 on the main and 1 on the slider as well.

I use 10 LB fish weights that are unpainted lead.

Nice talking to you this morning Wayne. I threw 3 babies back and kept three decent ones. When I got in at 11 ish the station was plugged. Cleaned mine and took carcasses him. Watch a couple of guys come in too fast and then it stalled and momentum took him right into another boat two west of me and speared his kicker. Then got it going again and overshot his own slip (13) . I left the guy in slip 21 a note and told him to check his kicker over. The two guys that did the hitting tied up and took off.

I was just kidding. Nice to hear a short lead is working. I am tired of reeling in 100 ft leads

It takes all kinds Bev. My charter boats were hit many times while just sitting in my slips and not once was there ever any notes left to let me know. Once my 6 foot cooler on the swim platform was nailed by somebody and split open. It was a $400 cooler and I had to replace it.

Good to know @scrimmy for I was going to ask you & others on what colour the downrigger ball’s should be,and if it would actually make any difference in their colour as well? The three in the first photo are 8 lbs each,and the black one is 10 lbs. I don’t know what weight the green cannonball is,( the pounds is not marked anywhere on it ), and would you or others maybe know? Thanks in advance.

 

[scrimmy]

A friend of mine has one that looks the same as the green one there and it is 12 LBS

Good idea @rcfire77 and why didn’t I think of that.

Well Red it normally lasts well in to September. I have had some of my best fishing close to my Wedding Anniversary on September 10th. Needless to say I don't go fishing on the 10th, lol
