Squid presentation?

[-scallywag-]

ha....or you could just use the "search" function on the tool bar above ? or ....google?

truth is all this stuff, including the most super secret methods have been discussed in great length in the past, read, learn, experiment... or do you want us to reel your fish in for you to?

or....

actually go fishing and see/ask what others are doing?


what I'm trying to say is there is a time and place for everything, and this ain't it!!!


GO FISH!!!!

thanks scallywhad for your advise.
i've used the "google search", but it really doesn't give too much info like these sites do. i am sure that this is a reason why a lot of us are reading this forum, to learn something from others who know more than i do.
glad that you have already read, learned and experimented with "this stuff" already and sorry that it is so boring for you to have to reread this stuff again.
i look at it this way. we all start off at the same spot but learn at a different pace through experience or from meeting someone who is willing to share their knowledge. with the internet, it has become easier to learn from others; that's why this site is so useful. so thank you (jim day) to those who are willing to share their knowledge with us.
and no thanks i'll reel in my own fish, once i learn to fish first......

Hey Tagyak, welcome to the forum! I glad to see you didn't get discouraged with the previous post. Your right, we all start somewhere, and networking on a site like this is a good place to start building on what one already knows. Personally, I enjoy reading through these posts, even if I've read through the info previously. There have been times when re-reading, I realized usefulness of what was being presented when I had previously not. So ask away! However, I do beleive that scallywhad was referring to this sites search feature; but be warned, you could spend days trying to find what your looking for. So you might be better off just asking away.

Lately I've been using a "drop shot" rig (tying the hook directly to the line and leaving a 1 1/2ft tag end for the weight). It looks like this would have the same strenght and presentation as the JD rig. What do you think?

Ive heard that if you "present" the squid just under a fishes nose it will work the best

Not the same but close. But a major difference is that if the JD dropper weight gets hung up, the weight will break off, as it is tied on with much lighter line; and you still have the fish.

Personally I also like Jim's posts. Sometimes they may take a day or two to finish reading them , but I always walk away with some applicable knowledge. Thanks, Jim.

Seems lately, though, we've been learning more from Scallwag about what we are NOT allowed to do.

Last month I might've caught dis thing using stuff for bait over there somewhere with you-know-that-one-technique...

(How's that?!?!)

I like that dropper loop rig its a nice new idea. Has anyone ever had their palomar knot slip down using bigger test. I have had it happen while drop shotting 8lb test for bass and hooking a larger bass. The knot slipped closer to the weight but havent it used too much with 25-40 lb test.

Hey thanks!!!

I'm just always trying new things, and when I find something that works I like to share it.

That alternative dropper was just something I came up with one day, but since then I use it all the time, because it really does work. It's now just about my favorite way to fish.

Since posting it I have had many people email me about using it successfully, which is cool. I like to share and help others out, but I don't expect everyone to think or fish like I do.

More then one way to skin a catfish if you get my drift...
