Are you catching them from shore or boat and are you using lures or live bait<br><br>

Surfcaster, Sorry it took so long to get back to you, been pretty busy. But to ansewer your question most of the bigger fish are being caught from boats trolling a bucktail down on the bottom, stretch 25s are also quite effective, the best live bait to use as been live eels. hope this helps. nofish95 <br><br>

Anybody trolling with their lures and/or bucktails on small downriggers and bombs?<br><br>If not then they are likely to pick up bigger fish if they take up this method.<br><br>Burnin Thumbs!<br><br>Steve B <br>Mod-Lures/Baits & Oz Boards<br><A HREF="http://www.demonjigs.com" target="_new">http://www.demonjigs.com</A>
