2019-01-22 Fishing Reports

Fresh Water:

  • Roger – Prospect Lake, no Fish
  • Elk Lake – 2 fish
  • Jim – use a good, soft net, not nylon or plastic.  Deep throating a hook, use circle hook. You have to make your own Circle hooks. Use forceps to remove hooks. Wet your hands before touching fish. Another thing which can be done is: cut hook off and fish’s acid will dissolve.

Salt Water:

  • Ryan- Waterfront, 4 lbs, Spring. Constance Bank – 4 lbs, 1 x 13 lbs McCauly Point on spoon
