Thread: S.W.A.T. / NPH/ Swimmie

  1. #1

    Default S.W.A.T. / NPH/ Swimmie

    Hit up NPH yesterday for about an hour and managed to pull up a couple of flatties.
    This one was about 12” and unfortunately the hook went right through its eye and when I pulled the hook his eye came with it;

    See it’s eye on the hook?! : (

    After I released the shorty, I cast to the same area and a couple throws later I hooked up to this;


    Measured out at over 24”.
    I have no clue what the color pattern was with the Big Hammer and I didn’t use any scent.
    Lots of bait in the harbor right now, fish were jumping all around and causing major boils.

    Here are some fish I have caught over the last 2 sessions.








    Have a good one!

    Nice work Robert.
    That might be the Smelt pattern Big Hammer. It's been working well up here on some super secret missions that Yoda and I have been on...

    Have fun Monday, I would of joined you if the boss hadn't brought me back on full time.
    It's a good thing and bad at the same time.... cuts into my fishing

    Roberto,

    Corection Added!!!!!!!!!

    Bill is right on the Smelt Pattern for the first short. As you stated in the PM those were the swimmies that I gave you a year ago! I some times keep them in the same compartment of my bait box and they tend to bleed over from one color to the next. Great eyes Bill!

    VG is right on. A Spottie Special it is! The same ones that I gave you last year when we hit up the harbor!

    Be carfull as the harbor can be addictive!

    See you on the big boat on Monday. Eddie (Hesbros) and I will be there early am to help set up! We plan on fishing after we are done with the kids somewhere so bring the gear and join us!

    Steve
