If that's true then there's another blue water gold rush in the making and I'm starting an import/export concern immediately.

In lieu of venture capital seed money, I will accept Seeker/Calstar rods and Accurate reels for an equity stake in the business.

I left out the $400.00/ lbs. part at the fish market.

Just seemed too far fetched.

I have caught them on squid sa well, but Pare and frozen peas are the best.

They very line and hook shy as far as I can tell.

If on the chew, no problem catching a bunch, but when locked jaw, they take the free peas, but not the hooked ones!
