hmm, BSB with a hopkins jig? Maybe I will try that.

We went out Sat afternoon and had both clams and squid.

The clams seemed to be catching more fish, (esp BSB), but for some reason they were very soft\mushy and were not staying on the hook that well.

We were only catching one BSB per dozen scupp or so. Only kept one BSB that was fairly good size (prob 18 inches). BSB's are OK, but not a lot of meat compared to a nice bluefish! Wind\waves were picking up so we didn't stay long.

WOW!!! She's a beaut!!!!!

I might be willing to make an offer just some questions about the landscaping......

Does the Virginia Creeper come with it?

Does the boat have an irrigation system?

Will you warranty the Bow Garden??????

And the Helm Garden? Warranty?

RKC - if you try the hopkins, buy some split rings and replace the factory treble hook with a J hook. The treble works fine - but abou 15% - 20% of the fish will have the whole treble in their mouth, completely pinned shut. Not only does it take much more time to get the hook out, it doesn't help the short ones that have to go back....

Much, much easier than bait!

Sound good. I'm gonna be taking my daughter, a friend and his son. We'll probably just stay inside the rocks and hunt flatties. If it is calm we may hit a few spots inside 10 miles for BSB and big spanish tho.

Just realized I said to get some split rings - you should be able to use the split ring that is holding the treble....don't know why I said that?
