Launched yesterday at 0530 with JOctane. Made about 10 pieces of bait (4GBM and about 6 Spanish), then headed out a bit. Time was about 0730. We were in pretty shallow, maybe 70-75, straight West of the condo. Nothing too scientific.
Dropper loop GBM one crank up, and really slow trolling. Reel started to sing my favorite song, and in a few minutes, up came 25# of yellowtail goodness.
I haven't been on the water in over 6 months, so this was a nice welcoming back.
About 1000 hooked into a beautiful blue shark. Maybe 6-7 feet and 75-100 lbs.
Amazed that my 40# flouro went unbitten. During the fun, my finger did not go unbitten. Mr(s?) shark took a little taste of my finger. Slight fleshwound, and a lightly black/blue knuckle. Anyways...earned myself a lollipop!
