I decided to fish  the outside of cliffwood beach today, I usually fish the inside area. 6 to 8 anglers were throwing baits out on the outside. After tossing clams for 2 hours I started throwing my Mikes plugs into the surf.    Unforunately My line got stuck on the spinning reel "which I am not used to" And the plug was gone!. Line was snappped, No anglres caught on the outside today.  I got in thetruck and moved to my normal spot to see an angler with a nicesize bass heading home. He said He landed 3 and lost 2 but kept one.  

I tried for another hour and a half with no luck.  Great day to be out though..    I will post pics when I figure out how to use the picture tray.

It happens.  I would hate to tell you how many plugs I have lost.  Thank God the wife does not get on here.

I have been looking into some new guydes by Fuji the K line.  What seems to happen is that the line gets wrapped around the first guide and sometimes it comes loose and sometimes it creates a knot (wind knot) and sometimes the knot tightens and bye bye lure.

I saw video on this and it has opened my eyes to the fact that if can and does happen.  I tried to make the time this winter to try changing the stripping guide out for the new guide but that fellow procrastination just keeps getting in the way.

I still want to try this sometime this summer.

Happy Catching

Paul, could it be a particular line or is it just the guide? I heard and experienced considerable amount of wind knots with power pro but not as many with sufix 832 line. What are your thoughts on this?

[Bucktail]

Here it is.

Got to be in it to catch 'em.  Good effort Eddie. You'll get them next time I'm sure

[gymrat987654321]

You gave it a shot, can't ask for more.

Thanks Bob, that is exactly the video I was talking about.  With Power Pro the line is a lot more supple than many of the other lines so it has a tendency to whip around a lot.  Just by replacing a guide or two will give you better control in windy situations.

Happy Catching

I was using power pro, and the wind was very strong too. I spooled up one of my reels wirh a braid made by Cortland and Im very happy with it.
