Bob, we get multiple hookups all of the time, thats the reason we pull so many lines. When Striper fishing in the Ches-Bay we can pull a 5 to 7 line spread and pick them one at a time, with a seldom few double hookups. However with a full spread like this if we find a school, we almost always have multiple lines go down.
Offshore we run tipple lines off the outriggers. Also, will be running 3 WAY WAY (900 feet) back lines for
BFT. These three lines are run from shorter and more vertical Lone Rigger Poles which are placed in the roof rack (port-center-starboard). The center line in vertical, 10 feet and is run at about 750 feet. The Port-Starboard Long Riggers have a 22 degree bend and they are 8 feet long. They allow us to pull two additional LONG lines 900 feet back with NO problem. When draggin' lines early in the year in the canyons these long lines are killer for
BFT. The rest of the spread is up short, near the boat and will attract any
YFT or Long Fin Tuna that may lurking about.
