Had the most flags I've had on a 2 trap lake today but couldn't hook up on a bow. Got a laker right away. That was it. Fished a perfect spot with sandy bottom small point. And multiple active bubblers running. Flag closer to the mini point kept popping hit and run like 4 times 2 times it took alot of line. Had another egg hole nearby and eggs went missing twice. So I set a trap and within seconds it popped but he spiy the hook . I sat over hole and watched him come in and actively take eggs. I tried a hook but he was so smart he swatted his tail and decided what one to not eat. It was very frustrating but interesting. There very smart in there. I had all smelt hooked close to head but couldn't hook up. Guess it's just one of those things. Never know what will happen. Got my wondering what I did wrong. Probably nothing but it feels like it.
Yeah I don't want to sound stubbor but the jaw jacket is such a relatively new technology I'm just wondering what I've done wrong maybe it's just one of those things we don't win them all. It's a challenge
