Thanks Nate for the info bout glowballing. Seemed to work well. Fishin was on fire for a few hrs then it died. But this pig fell to a huge clump of eggs. it was sweet.

SO GOOD that i had to go back today, fished glowballing and only caught one,. then resting in car till morning. Me and Kockmandoo hooked 7 fish in the morning in the hatchery area, bringing home a nice limit with the biggest being his 13.5lber and my 12lber. Pretty sweet fishing at the skook right now.

Saw Brian from the site Hammering them as well

LOl i know i saw that. That light pole it didnt even look like a fish at first. That was a crappy spot for landing fish tho, too bad it was so close. Nate showed us that slot behind the rock u guys were fishing, he says its always consistant all day long. And yea we saw a 20lber caught. Big slab steelhead in there now. Its a long ways from home, but these fish just arent up here, all rivers up here are closed, so gotta make the 60$ gas trip...

Yeah thats a bummer for that kid, we could have easily netted it, especially if we had ff's net.

Yea its kind of annoying, but its nice to have knotless also so u can net fish and keep them in the water for the release without bringing them near the beach and letting them hit rocks and stuff. Kind of a tossup
