I started running mono for my snapper fishing on recommendation from others and I must say, I catch 20 to 1 snapper on the mono verse braid. Absolute game changer for me. Another great vid and always something to learn - thanks.
Thank you. I thought I could learn to use braid but switching to the very long mono leader seems to be just as good as using all mono used to be for me.
The case for mono for snapper is too hard to ignore. I love mono for the sensitivity and all the reasons you mentioned but I can not see why mono would be better but the proof is in the eating and eating and I will set up a mono rod just for shallow water snapper. Thanks for the vid and the tips.
Another great video. What speed are you generally trolling at? Do you also think theres been a massive increase in grinners in the past years? I cant remember catching so many as a young fella.
Thank you. For the Mackerel I generally troll between 5 and 6 kts but when I'm not getting anything I vary it between 4 and 7 knots to see if that changes anything. On this trip nothing changed. When I am catching a heap of grinners I also bring the lures in closer to the boat as that is supposed to help. It didn't. I am definately catching more grinners than I ever have in the past. The only saving grace is that I have finally found a use for them as crab bait.
