Lexington - 3/9/17. 9°. 26' south. 103°. 33' west. hunting for bear



I am tired of not catching fish. There were three moderate sized flying fish on the deck this morning so I decided to put them to good use. I have some wire for fishing leaders (hand made). The problem with fresh fish as bait is keeping them on the line. People who know what they are doing will salt dry their bait fish to harden them up so they stay on better. I passed a wire thru the length of the fish, attached a large hook on the end of the wire, then pulled the hook back into the fish. I then wrapped the wire around the fish several times to hold it. I even passed the wire around the wings to try to make them stand out naturally. I did a second bait fish and attached it to be behind the first fish by about 12 feet. I am hoping that they will stay on and be attractive to something. Not many people are catching fish. I do not know how much they are trying. I am hoping for two thirty pound tuna at once. That will make for a real circus trying to land them. Hope springs eternal! It would be great to have fresh fish and we do have freezing capacity. Tuna salad for several days would be nice. I will give a follow up on my efforts. May fair winds fill your sails with hope and joy. Bob
