Thanks for the great right up and photos Andy-
I don't really have much to add but a thank you to all the Islander crew for their hard work and fun they make these trips. I'm going again next year I hope and who knows what will happen
My first day jackpot Hali came when I wanted to make some fresh bait other than chovies so I tied on a sabiki and used a 1 oz bass plastic lead head for a weight and in 160 feet right on the bottom-bang on the plastic
hookup and gingerly brought up 28 # hali

almost like I knew what I was doing
Lucky and good looking
