I had about the same luck this morning. Biggest was 12 lb., a ten, an eight, two fives and a bunch of twos. I fished cut skipjack ( about 3/4 inch chunks, not very big pieces at all) on noodles below Mansker's Creek while they were generating this morning. I lost two noodles, One went down and I never saw it again even though I was in the area for two hours.
Then I lost another one between the ramp and the barge slip. I found it two hours later (I didn't, some young guys fishing up by the dam found it and called me and I went and retrieved it from them, very nice guys). It had a broken line. I am beefing up my noodles tonight by cutting another noodle and taping two together. Gonna make them work a little harder at staying under. We also have some 1/2 gallon milk jugs, thinking about using them.
Fishing 10-11 ft deep seemed to work the best for me, keeping the sinker out of the rocks on the bottom so I wasn't always chasing back upstream to get them unsnagged and moving.
