Went to the rockpile yesterday to try to russle up a few hoos! Got our first line wet a 6:15. I was putting out the first line in the dark. Just as I was putting the rubberband on the line for the down rigger a hoo pulled the rubberband out of my hand! First fish in the box at 6:20 and still dark. Started to put the spread back out and bamm! The bridge rod goes off with the Rasta Bar on it! Fish is going nuts behind the boat but it was still too dark to make it out. Got the fish within gaff range and it was Mr. Whitey! Nice fat one too. Wanted to get the hook out so we brought him up on the gunnel and got a few pics. Two fish and it's not even 6:30. Spread goes back out and 5 minutes later the downrigger rod goes off. 5 minutes and a 30# yellowfin in the box. Had a hoo, a white and a tuner all before 6:45. Our day slowed after that but we did manage to bail a dozen or so nice gaffers![]()
