[VFB] Re: Moffitt Angling System
We used to use the same type if hooking for Salmon that were hard to catch we called it lining a fish and yes it is snagging a fish but it is leagle to do because if a fish is snagged in front of the gill it's a leagle catch in Washing State. You don't need a fly on the line just cast behind a fish with a sink tip and let your leader float and as it breathes the line will go between it's jaws and set the hook.Not at all sporting but would catch a limit pretty quick for the freezer. - Original Message - From: "gary and joan smith" To: Sent: Sunday, June 14, 2009 12:10 AM Subject: [VFB] Re: Moffitt Angling System > > Will be interesting to see what New York will have to say about it. they > outlawed the J plug which is similar in set up. > Gary S. > - Original Message - > From: "LESTER BELL" > To: > Sent: Friday, June 12, 2009 10:53 AM > Subject: [VFB] Re: Moffitt Angling System > > >> >> Go to Moffitt's web site, www.moffittangling.com and check.
