I saw you out there making bait like crazy. I had a hard Friday and Saturday. What sibiki were you using? I was suffering a bit.

You guys are monsters! All this action - unbelievable

We couldn't get bait at the kelp for hours on Sat... Then all of our jack macs got mauled, maimed and left agonizing, not a single honest hookup. We were West of the kelp line the whole time, I saw just one YT picked up by a boat. Schools of big macs (14"+) were chasing sardines or anchovies, and we admired those majestic boils for HOURS. This was the only reward for our fishless journey.

Not positive, but believe this is the Sabiki I was using. Had to cut it off when line got tangled while fighting the BFT. I haven't had trouble making bait by the kelp in quite some time, and believe the flashing of the sinker plays the biggest role, since I catch 80% of my macs as the line is dropping! Hook mac, then reel..... Good Luck.

Thanks. I was really close watching you kill it. I was dying. I run a glow 2oz with treble hook and I agree it helps. Thanks for the info.
