PS 7/7 AM 1 for 5

Woke up early and had lines down by 4:45am. As soon as I had lines in it was game ON! I had 4 fish all bite from 5-5:30am, but on the first fish I lost my net! I kept trying to land them anyways, but kept losing them at the back of the boat because I couldn't really get them in. Around 6:30am I had another bite and managed to pull the fish out of the water and drop it in the boat. I'm going to take it as a win, even though I lost some gear I was in the right spot with the right presentation and was into them good. I'll try again later this week.

All bits were on a south troll, 2.8-3.0 MPH, in 80FOW

5:00am: Dipsey setting 3 back 170ft, Raspberry Carbon UV Glow (Lost - This is the fish that I lost my net trying to land)

5:10am: Dipsey setting 1.5 back 120ft, Hot Lips UV Glow (Lost)

5:20am: Dipsey setting 1.5 back 130ft Bloody Nose UV Glow (Lost)

5:30am: Dipsey setting 1.5 back 120ft Hot Lips UV Glow took a bite, popped the dipsey, ripped line and got off, not counting it.

5:50am: Dipsey setting 3 back 170ft Raspberry Carbon UV Glow (Lost)

6:45am: Dipsey setting 1.5 back 130ft Bloody Nose UV Glow (Landed FINALLY, nothing to write home about. Just an eater king)

7:10am: Dipsey setting 3 back 160ft Wonder Bread UV Glow took a bite, popped the dipsey, ripped line and got off, not counting it.

Stinks to lose a net but an adventure to try to land them without one. Good job getting on the fish.

Good to be getting bites!  Dipsey's can be frustrating some days with fish getting off.  Other days the hooks are buried.
