Dropped off rod at the local tackle store to be fixed. Dick nite just delivered some pink spatter back dodgers that were on sitting on counter not even on self yet. Well, bought 4 headed home and grabbed boat to test them out. Fished from 6 to 8, only got a couple towards end of the day because most of the marks on fish finder were out of reach early on (10 pound weight on 50 foot nylon rope serves as my down rigger). As it got later marks started moving up. Think if I could have stayed until dark I could have added a few more to my catch. Pink spatterback dodger with wedding rings. Two fish about 12 inches. Looking forward to Saturday to give them a true test to see if they make a difference in my catch rate.
