Here's our little story

I gotta say what a great bunch of guys working the area.

Hello to all I spoke with on the radio.

Here's my wrap up

We had a great time but didn't take any pics for you pic lovers.

We had a tentative canyon charter that due to a change in plans had to be turned into a one day trip.

The charter had five on board so we had a discussion as to best place. The Bank would mean we may get one or two but not everyone in the boat would be expected to hook up. Ditto for Chatham with the spotty bite being reported. The main theme of this charter was how to set trolling spreads, location and maximize everyone's enjoyment. With a hot bite being reported SE of the Block we re-grouped and formed a plan to head that way looking for multiple hookups on school tuna and opportunistically see if we could raise other species.

We arrived at the Mud Hole first and plenty of sign but no bite seen. Had a lobster guy try to cut off our gear and found that a Carlson Bird is tougher than a lobster boat

Went south then East and got a call fom a buddy of mine since cub scouts. Plenty of life so we headed that way. We started catching school bluefin then bonito and false albacore and skippy. Our day was not about big fish but about big fun and trolling spreads. We return to home abut 2000 from 0600 departure. The afternoon bite was happening and the morning bite seemed very slow that day.

Our lures of choice were Legend Lures Unicorn and Nemi's as they also mimic the sandeels that were so abundant. I think you could also get there and blind fly cast and have a ball

All in all when we were in the fleet the guys in other vessels were great. It's a fun fishery and light tackle will do just fine.

Our guys brought some of the finest calzone's the north end ever produced.

Have fun out there and catchemup.

That is a great fun fishery that light tackle will keep it fun and low cost lures will keep it real. BI is a par four and maybe good or not so good cell coverage is excellent.

We were using small squid bars from RDT, the majority of the hits was off the riggers with 32" bars, only 1 on a single bird/chain in the middle. Saw your boat out there at one point.

Thanks Alloytoy. Asfar as location they have been being caught all the way from the gully to inside mud-hole. Also hearing lots of people coming back with fish just putting out lots of single heads like this one:
