Had the fire drill goin for about and hour and a half with 13 hits and only 2 people. A lot of those fish were just swippin at the rigs.
bigfish101 Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Nice!! We were fishing 160-180 FOW could not keep coppers in the water.. 250-300-350 and 400 were hot hot!! We ended up with 2 man limit by 9:30 blue dolphin,blue benny mag spoons is what we fished with the entire time! Riggers took a few hits at 60 down.
Just Hook'n Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Can't beat a good fire drill on the boat early. Nice work out there.

Print them off, laminate them, and leave them on your boat. You can even get copies at some of the tackle shops for free.
chandler Posted July 30, 2012 Author Posted July 30, 2012 Id also change out moonshines hooks because they are dull!! Get some owner treble hooks and you will land twice as many fish!
Fish4em Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Sounds like you had fun Chandler, great job, and sharp hooks help!
