Dinks and Keepers
Was longlining on Saturday morning, caught only 1 keeper and 10+ dinks. My question is do the dinks and keepers/larger fish school up together in the same basic location (in this case some structure in 15 FOW), or are they somewhat seperated by size but in the same area (still close to the structure). And are the dinks usually deeper/more shallow in the water column than the larger/keeper fish, or all of 'em just mixed in together. Trying to figure out why so many dinks. I was pretty consistent on my speed and lenght of line out so my depth was pretty consistent as well as I was hooking up almost every trip over the structure going both ways. Both rods had the same grub, only difference was one jig had a black head (with half of the paint gone) with silver hook and the other jig was just a unpainted lead head with a red hook.
GO BIG ORANGE !
I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.
