congrats on the legal hali and a nice sized BSB from the yak. if that leader is 16 that fish is easily twice as long so put it around close to 3 feet...unfortunately that still gives me no idea as to the weight of a 36ish inch BSB. Im sure someone will chime in though.

As far as only catching mackerel, try and smaller sized sabiki for the smaller fin baits. What size are you currently using that all you get is mackerel? try like a 12 or so and you should be good. Still get the mackerel but if there is sardines or chovies in the mix youll pick some of them up as well.

I saw on BD that the squid moved back in to DP and that someone found them in 80 feet of water directly west of the red buoy out by the point/headlands. Gotta fish the squid sabiki rigs not standard sabikis the guy also mentioned. Get em while you can before they move back out of the area.

ya sometimes the right bait can be hard to find. unfortunately i dont even have a FF so im always blind when i go out for them with the sabiki but usually find at least a couple sardines mixed into the macks. Been lots of bait around the DP area lately.
