Capt, if you don't mind me asking - how much lead do you use on a fluke rig to get down to 70 + feet? Gotta be quite a chunk of lead I would think. Most of the floundering we do down here is in shallow water. Please edumacate me ;D

[captbent]

6-8 oz with power pro line

49lbss :o So close....

It should start getting real intresting/good in the next few days/weeks. There was two 60's in the last week and actually one guy with a 63, 2 50's and a 40 off of Comerant rock/elbow ledge area two Sundays ago with eels. right place right time i gues ::)
I think the commericial guys maxed out there 20,000lbs quota in 5 days :-X
Good luck! Let me know the next time you are heading down this way, we can share some spots if you like
