Hope it turns out good!

Tony,

Ha. When I took that picture, I thought this is going to be pretty incriminating.

I paddled a couple hundred yards down wind of that bloated carcass and day-am it was nasty. I thought deflating n sinking it would be a good idea. Mostly to keep the seal crazies from declaring LJ a crime scene, calling in a CSI team, and acusing an angler of murder. But I'm not the man for that job. Mike

I was out with Mike Saturday and we couldn't make bait if our life depended on it. What size hooks were on the sabiki? Style? I have had a hard time making bait the last 3 times I was out there. I have been 50' away from guys killing the bait. Once I was with a friend. We was killing it on a #6 I had a #14. Once I switched I was killing it. I have chummed, butt juice and small squid pieces...nothing.

How'd that salt cure turn out?

ha. I got about as close as I could, but the thought of popping that thing, gross.

I'd say that was a #10 or so.

I usually stay around that size. +-1 size. Tried different colors, didn't notice a difference. I don't have a fish finder so I move a lot till I find a honey hole.
I use a cheap trout rod for entertainment value. 6-8 mono to sabiki. I cut my rigs in half(less to fuss with) and crip the barbs and drop a 2oz sinker. I have had a hell of a time getting greenbacks for the last two months, but the Spanish work.

Geno,

I sliced a little at 24 hrs and tried. "Wow". Really good and almost candy like around the edge. I'm going to let it go a little longer and check it after work tomorrow, Prob closer to 2 days.

Thanks for the info. I think it's just been unlucky for me combined with tough bait making. I'm heading back out tomorrow. Thanks again.
