With the upcoming tx starting so early, thought i would share a tip i have been doing the last couple of yrs. I figure 90%+ are still pulling boards with a couple drs mixed in.
Many times fish short strike a PB bait. Either killing it or taking it. We have all pulled in a board to find the hook empty and wondered how long it had been that way. With an hr of dark fishing this sat it will be even harder to watch those boards on the outside or middle ones for small “pull backs”.
When pulling boards at night or in the early morning dark i zip tie small glow sticks to them. It in no way affects how the board runs. These sticks can be bought at the dollar tree 10 for 1$. They actually glow sticks to make bracelets and necklaces. They are not at dollar general. Dollar tree. I also zip tie them to the end of the rods in some cases.
Hope this helps anyone.
