Went about 50 miles out of San Diego and started trollin towards the 182. Lots of radio chatter. Everyone was sharing information and no-one was worried about keeping "secrets".
We caught one nearer the 181 then nada for an hour. Then we discovered our lines were twisted! CRAP!
Our gaff broke bringing in the first fish so I sacrificed an old cheap rod I had by cutting it about 1/2 way with my spyderco, then lashing on the remaining gaff with mono and a piece of cord. (Check it in the first pic) It'll make a good back-up.
Anyway... we caught 5 more and lost one all on the troll. Two doubles.
We tryed farming them to the boat with finbait but they were not interested. Did hear some chatter that some people catchin'm on live bait, but mostly on the troll.
Lots of meter marks reported and the fish seemed to be hunkered down aroung 60'.
Our crew included both of my boys, Matt and Joe, and my brother Phil. Made it a special trip for me!
Heard a report of a bluefin caught near the 182. Unk size.
