Really nice Hali Andy. I was out there and tried all also but did not find any love. The wind picked up after lunch and kept drifting further south. I later though I should have gone north that way I could have used the wind to drift back toward the launch after getting a little tired from trolling and yo yoing a lot after a month of not doing anything to work and weather. At times it was a beautiful day out there yesterday, whales cruising by catching some sun and drinking beers. Lost some bait to critters on the bottom but no hook ups and only lost 2 to seals.

Curious how you rigged it?
Carolina
Dropper loop
3-way swivel
Im experimenting with these, but havent decided which i really like, although the 3-way swivel seems to always get twisted.
Thanks

Do a search. The Iceman has written a few articles on how to catch trophy fish.

Another nice one....some guys are just fish magnets.
