Got out late yesterday after the rain.  Fished 'til dark. Stayed primarily in 50-60 fow, +/-2.5 sog and trolled south starting from the North side of the pier.  2 kings with 5 drive-by's on several rods targeting 40ish feet of water. Both during course changes crossing 57'. 150 cu. took both fish on green glow flounder pounder.   A moment of Karma:  Made the off hand comment that I've never sharpened my hooks.  Only later did I correlate the 5 drive-by's could have been catches had the hook stuck.

Would anyone like to offer a hook sharpener review?  And would a dremel tool be a better alternative to a file?

I have two of the below.  Takes a bit to get the hang of it - but the hooks end up scary sharp.

I fished there for less than an hour yesterday before the rain chased me. I had two drive by hits on my riggers in 55 ft down 24 and 32. Both had new spoons with sharp hooks . Maybe small fish?
