Read the Signs

I got an email from a friend fishing the 2009 Masters Trolling Tournament in Denmark. In the email he states he was watching fish come right up to the Sapphire Shark a number of times and then swim off. This burns me up to no end when I hear this; I have been telling guys for five years when they see this happening, it is time to switch to the Black Sharks. If you are using Black Sharks and the fish are swimming off, switch to the Chromes or the Sapphires.


The sound generated from the all the Sharks is exactly the same; the bigger Sharks amplify the sound over a greater distance as they displace more water. Curious fish hear the sound and come to the ball from great distances, what they do when they get there depends entirely what kind of mood they are in. If the fish are feeling aggressive while you are using Chrome Sharks they will become even more stimulated and will hit anything running behind it. If they are feeling a little spooky, the Chrome might be a little too much for them to handle, and they will swim off. If you see them swimming off two or three times, don't just sit there, they are telling you to switch to the Blacks. Sharks are attractors just like your dodgers and flashers, serious fishermen do not expect one color to work for all the conditions.



Confidence in the Black Shark :Yesterday from Thomas in Norway:

Black shark, spoon was silver with golden flake (homemade), 5 feet behind the shark. Speed 2.4 knots.
