This is looking like one of those years with fish everywhere. We used green label herring but you can get fresh you have to order it the day before. We used deep sixes and 15 pulls of line no secret just seems to be fish. My grandson just got in last night with 400 tuna for 3 and a half days fishing it was the first time we have let him take the boat out. He also had a yellowfin tuna and lots of shark stories.
