I have a Garmin Striker 4 also. It is both simple and you can get deeper into the features also. You will have a hard time getting a better value for about $100. Might be the only one you need, but definitely a good one to break in on.
Looks like a good time unless you’re the Mako.
Try searching octopus hooks.
Oh yeah. Circle hook also. I haven’t seen those barbless. It does make sense that they would work well.
Seems like the same knot I tie, but no eyelet on the hook to pass through.
What’s the point?
I have that black whopper. Nothing on it yet. What kind of retrieve gets action?
You didn’t mention the inside filter. Has that been changed?
With smaller turtles you can trying a quick bounce into the water. I find that the loose line and sudden shock combination will cause the turtle to release the hook or it just pops out once the tension is gone.
Rubbing salt into the wound may be a remedy in this case. Lived in Greece for four years. Loved the Mediterranean.
Thanks
Great ideas. Thank you everyone. I’ll be trying some of this out.
I am getting some relief from Chigger Rid. Just a lot of bites. Combination of camphor and fingernail polish. Now how to avoid the rinse and repeat?
