SIX ON!!!!NOW WHAT?

[Persistence]

Like the others have said, take a moment and watch what is happening. I like to assess what has stayed tight and where might I have a tangle/or crossed line. I like to get everything going straight back behind me then get folks cranking them in. While they are cranking, I ask them to tell me when and if they see a problem occuring...don't wait until you're crossed with other fish. I say this because once folks are fighting fish, I'll pull in what needs to be pulled in order to effectively boat the hooked fish. If the bait is smashed, I'll re-rig while they are fighting fish. Basically it comes down to letting everything pan out, assess what you've got on your hands and then communicate...and most of all enjoy since the 5-6-7 rod cover up is what we are out there trying to achieve!

We turn on the first strike towards the bite this will slow the closest baits and speed up the further baits to get the pile up Turning into the fish will clear that line as well I fish out of a center so we stay into the turn and start spacing the anglers out along the gunnel Once the intial run is over we move the lever up to strike from the position it was in (usually around 6-9#'s of drag) By now the first fish should be trying to circle(about 5 minutes) Goto full and crank first fish will be leadered if it's sbft's I grab by the tail or gill plate and swing it in If it's yft or lft gaff shot and left in the bow next fish repeat till we are clear Once everything is in we lay back out and make a circle back to the intial strike This will be on the same track through the point we made and like said above We will wear out our welcome this way till we are forced to change or fill our limit
