ADVICE TIME AGAIN. WENT OUT ON LAKE WASHINGTON THIS WEEKEND TRYING FOR CUTTHROAT AND RAINBOWS. I WAS FISHING THE NORTH END OF JUANITA BAY TOWARD THE POINT, TROLLING DICKNIGHTS BETWEEN 25-65FT ON DOWNRIGGERS. TROLLING SPEED WAS AROUND 1.5 MPH. WE HAD OVER A DOZEN STRIKES WHICH TRIPPED THE DOWNRIGGER RELEASE, BUT NEVER GOT A SINGLE HOOK-UP. I CHECKED THE HOOKS WHICH WERE PLENTY SHARP. ADJUSTED THE TENSION ON THE RIGGER RELEASES, CHANGED THE DISTANCE BETWEEN LURE AND RELEASE, ETC. DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHY WE MISSED HOOKING SO MANY FISH? VERY FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCE. THANK FOR ANY SUGGESTIONS.
