@Highway-uk7md I know people have come back in with limits of fish. Water has been warm, so they've been out a little farther, it seems. Good luck, and stay safe.

It was ridiculous, went back to camp to have late night tacos over the fire, and the Flys were getting in our food. Picked them out as much as we could, no doubt that we ate a handful of them that night.

Just stumbled across this video. Your hookup ratio on your downriggers will sky rocket if you leave it in the holder when it pops and reel as fast as you can until you're solidly connected to the fish, THEN remove it from the holder. It is a night and day different on your hooksets. Good luck and tight lines dude.
