No problem. We started at the ridge. trolled from there to a big oil tanker reck, then from there to little italy. basicsly trolled all day. we trolled chains and cedar plugs. used all 30tw's, tiagra 30w, and one 50tw. we had all the jiggin gear on board but didnt want to stop to jig unless we read fish... lots of boats were getting the bluefin and albies on the chunk and very few on the jig... for us it was a skunk, everyone else just a VERY slow day.

Sounds like you guys were out around the mud hole/oil wreck and the monster ledge??

Did you hear of any size of the fish taken on jigs or bait?
