Inline spinner problem

[KYCatfish]

As usual, boat hard to start...and it's not the boat..it's me..always me...I gotta get that down pat...always flood it out. Anyway, got on T-ville at 10 this morning and got off it at 3:30. For a solid hour no bites trolling with 3 rods. About 2 turns past horseshoe bend, I caught one hybrid..then two. Then circled back around and caught three more. I drug one for 5 minutes without knowing he was on there. The pole kept acting funny so I looked back and saw it skimming the surface. I caught them on Rooster Tails with a egg sinker in front of it and a swivel, a mister twister 3" shad, and a deep diving crank bait. After no luck for another hour, my boy was bored and we fished for bluegill. Caught 10-12 small ones and I landed 5 10" bass while he was bluegill fishing. Not a real productive day but my boy enjoyed it.

Trolling's not bad b/c you get a decent wind but those slow periods get old.

BTW: this was the first time for me cleaning hybrids and I've heard a lot about trimming off the red meat....but the whole dang filet is red....at least half anyway. Is this typical?

Reds gotta go. Don't know about stripers yet I cut all red out of the white bass.

Yah but man you got to get rid of the red meat if not you will puke. it is nasty chzit. I know one guy who like it on there. Iron gut is all i can say.
OOPSS Hijack another thred sorry about that..
But to make it right again try some 14 puond fire line on those spinners . Its good line to use for hybrids any way.

I use the Vibric Rooster Tails and have had no issues with them. I caught over 200 white bass last yr on the same lure and it still spins fine. Only thing is they cost almost $4 now which is alot for an in-line spinner

You can eliminate a lot of the red if you bleed them out. Put them on a stringer live, cut the gills and put them in the water. When you clean them, keep your knife a 1/4 inch or so above the skin as you cut the meat away. This will leave much of the red on the skin.
