#10847, "90%er here... trying to get into the 10%!"


          

Rob,

I just read your article about the 90% of us who are out here. I'm guilty as charged. I appreciate you taking the time to write that article. I'm always trying to get better and sometimes I feel like I'm on information overload. I get to a lake and I have so many things going through my mind, that I often waste a lot of time doing things I don't want to do and fishing spots I don't want to fish. Sounds crazy, huh?

Your sight has been invaluable to me. I think I'm developing some skills as a jig fisherman because of the tips you've been able to share.

My latest challenge is fishing the fat ika's. I've rigged them backwards the way the good folks at BWW tell us... but I 'm still having trouble catching fish with them. I keep missing the fish and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. How do you or other set the hook on a fat ika? I keep pulling the bait out of the fishes mouth without getting a good hook set. It puzzles me because I keep missing fish.

I've used gammies in 4/0 and 5/0 - but it seems like I'm not pulling enough of the hook through the bait fast enough to get a hook set or something. Any tips?
