Thanks for the reply.One more ? are you anchoring or just drifting.Anchoring out there is a little intimidating to me.

 

[Hindsight]

Anchoring at the Rockpile will work 90 ft Commercial boat working that area on Monday

 

[Optimist]

anchoring this time of year ,by mid June the chickens move in and drifting works, anchoring not as bad as locally we don't get those 2 knot plus tides very often in fact we are having to move out into deeper water when the current slows down like right now

 

[cletus]

Thanks.Hope to get out this week or next.

Owen pt to the Rock pile all in the afternoon 3:30 on with the high water 11 springs to the boat in an hour 615-20lbs and the rest 7-10 all hatchery except the big one

I guess we missed them cause we had to leave around 2pm. Oh well, I can't wait to get back up there and give it another go. Were you having to go deep for them or were they at there normal depths? Thanks

I was fishing in 85 -95 ft of water and getting them at 80-85 on the rigger in the mud ,full of needle fish ,i was using gay pride squirt and coyote spoon bigger fish were on the coyote.

[bigmeal]

Thanks Optimist, I totally wanted to drop the balls and dragem on the ground but they weren't my downriggers and not my boat. The friend I was with was a bit nervous about losing something. "GAY PRIDE SQUIRT" LMAO! I have got to see that one, maybe I have one in the old tackle box.

 

[Optimist]

Its the purple haze squirt with the pink strip,,just a local name that was given to it , well if your ever looking for lead iam the guy that sells it to everyone on the southern island just pm me.Good luck out there.

 

[sammyslabber]

Yep S.F I think you mean the go to guy is Paul(Trotac Marine) after all they are in James Gay Barrio & being "Gay Friendly" maybe they could fly the pride flag out front & pick up a little extra biz.
