Fished Kitty Coleman Hump this afternoon. Nothing happening for me. Lots of "line snot"to contend with. Water was flat calm.
Quite a pile of "just unders " nowNot me... we were busy with springs at 195 on glow.
OK-- fess up. Who was the one that lost the estimated 50 lb hali when trying to gaff it on the Kitty hump yesterday ????? Had two guys tell me they witnessed that !
If you're not fishing alone, get the other person to just pinch the buildup with their fingers, it comes right off. I've also not had it stick to braidWhat is all this brown slimy sludge in the water from? It's on my lines so thick I can't reel my lines in.

Some guys in the past have replaced the end eyes on old rods with bigger ones so at least they can wind in.
This seems to happen every year around this time for a couple or three weeks.
There's the slime...and then there's this sort of brownish poo-smelling algae that sticks to the line like sh*t in blobs.. It is noticeably harder between the fingers when you try to crush it or pick it off.
I get it stuck to the braid downrigger lines just as much as the mono line.
When I get back in I rinse the lines. Then let them dry out in the basement for a couple of days. Then run the lines through my fingernails and it comes off easier.
Tedious process.
Heard there were like 50 boats out off kitty yesterday..plus others in different parts of area and no reports...wow must be slow out there
