    Default I can't hit curve balls 5-16

    Made the mission over the hill today. Stepped in the box swung away for diddly squat. I tossed surface rats, subsurface rats, glide baits, Storm swim bait 1\2 oz. And a duo 120. Lots of flow out there that I saw. Walked all over as I usually do. Didn't see many people out or any stringers from the people I did see. So it wasn't just me. Fished from 5:20 to 10:20. The duct threw me curve again! Better luck next time

    Good try. I too have been striking out lately on the AV side.

    I even soaked some strips of Skipjack without a nibble last week. I thought for sure a catfish would have bit.

    Thanks for then report.

    WTG on the over the hill try.

    It will pay off soon im sure,,,Just one question though

    Im curious <no Dissrespect intended> How come that with as many posts that we all,,Even if you only count The BAKO BOYS #s of duct posts,,

    How come everybody wants to throw anything other then the tried and proven lures

    LC128
    1oz rattle bait=KPN or Rattle trap
    1/2 oz white or pearl fluke

    I truly believe that if you would have used the LC or KPN just before sun up THEN switched to the fluke after daylight that your odds would have been better.

    That's a long drive I know,,,,Shoot a pm if your interested next time and maby we can meet up and do some striper hunting.

    Again way to go and thanks for the duct post.
