Late Mendo report

Sorry for late pics. First set from sunday. The one shot shows the uppermost limit of the channel. If there was more water I could have gone a little ways further.

That looks fun.  I need some water soon.

 

These pics are from monday afternoon. The bass is a cookie-cutter of what I caught that day. I was dropshotting a worm for nothing, switched to the miny fluke and voila! That's what they wanted.
2nd pic is my dropshot rig.
3rd pic is the Octopus. Looks fishy but held no takers.
No striper for me... yet.

Is that up the creek in the north end!!  the water looks like it can't go no higher than that!  NICE Fluke color.  Thanks for the pics&port Bro!
Yep!..i'm feeling quite jealous now!   

Looks nice Juan!

Oh man I would have spent hours on that stump! Beautiful!

hey Juan!  what kind of weight is that on the DS setup?

Hollow Core Pencil?

thanks Mike! what's the advantage if there is one?

Cut to any weight and $4 per lb.

Thanks for the photos and report - Mendo is shaping up nicely!

Fish Hunter,
it's a cheaper way to do drop shotting instead of buying the over inflated prices of the weights for drop shotting. The idea is they crimp on and pull off before breaking your line if they get snagged and they are pretty streamline. They also use rubber leg material inside the hollow core to secure the line as an alternative to crimping. Stealheaders often use the hollow core for bottom bouncing in the rivers. It pulls off when snagged.

thanks for the breakdown J!  it looked so bulky, but I know ObieJuan knows his stuff and didn't want him keeping any secrets from me!  

F.H. no problem brudda  I just bought one of the Optimo 30 cameras, so I can start including some visual aids to my posts  Looking forward to using it soon.

A VERY wise choice my friend!  don't use the zoom...just crop/modify with the computer later.
