This is the second part of my Catalina Island fishing trip! After a long 3 hours of getting there, Mr. Takeuchi and I started fishing. At first I cast the FM120DD and went from low, medium, then to fast retrieving. By checking how the lure swims at each speed, you can see how the tide currents and waves have an effect on it. Mr. Takeuchi started off aiming the surface with the FM110/130) and I aimed in a deeper range with the FM120DD. After only couple casts, Mr. Takeuchi caught a very large Bonito!! And I got a hit too~! (In result… I was so close to getting the Big Fish of the day.)

The time went by and when the sun was starting to go down, I aimed deeper from the surface. And by doing that, with the FM120DD, I kept catching so many Bonitos. And not only that, I discovered something new!! Without realizing, I was retrieving from low to mid-speed with the FM120DD. That is when I realized the lure would swim very irregularly. In a way I’ve never seen such swimming action with the Flash Minnow 110 & 130 before. When retrieving in mid-speed, not only did it do the usual flashing and rolling, it widely swam left in right. When it rapidly swims in such irregular motion, it is thought that it creates a very high appeal towards the fishes, which led me to fishing a lot! And by taking advantage of the capability of it going deep water, I cast towards the kelp beds and was able to catch some Calico Bass which were under bottom areas. The Flash Minnow 120DD has such high potential of being the almighty lure!!

See you all very soon!!
