King Cod.
The thing to do is arrive and launch Friday night.
Moor overnight and in the morning you'll be way more relaxed.
That said, the launch is usually pretty quick - not many rookie boaters fish this late in the year so those on the ramp are good at it.
Was out this weekend with the family and got 2.
One on a pink/black on a 56" leader at 42' and the other on a pink/white/wedding band/spoon equipped hootchie that my daughter picked out, this one on a 36" leader at 62'.
Threw back several shakers.
OBMG that we saw were all using bright pink minis and about 42" leaders behind a variety of flashers, mostly orange or green or purple haze.
Things were slow all around, the biggest bite we saw was when 2 fish were being played in the group.
Most people had 1 or 2 fish at the end of a day.
The sounder is plugged with fish and they are jumping but just not biting yet.
Word is that chum are just in Hardy now so hope that they are here in 2 weeks!
