caught with both hooks
My fishing buddy Chester had purchased some Waxwings but hadn’t gotten the chance to try them until today. We went to one of the test grounds and as I was demonstrating how I like to retrieve the lure, this white papio hammered it on cue. This was the first time a fish was stuck by both hooks. Because I had smashed down the barbs, I was able to shake the fish loose, unharmed.
Chester had papio bump his Waxwing and landed a white papio. I had 3 papio hit and shake off the hook. Hopefully when the larger papio come into the shallows, they’ll inhale the lure and get hooked well. Still waiting for the oama school to seek shelter inside, bringing the larger predators with them.
Niiiice! I gotta get my gear ready.
i’m gonna order some before i get there. black and blue are working yeah?
Hey Dean,
Yup the blue sardine, as you predicted, works well. It has the best finish and the most “flash”. The black/chrome has reflective flash also and looks like the baby mullet and aholeholes in the shallows.
I’m gonna fish your spot today on my board to see if I can get a larger papio to hit the WW. Will send you an email.
