No different than any other fishing. Spectra to mono to flouro catches many cow tuna. Tie good knots.

Hooking a bait in the shoulder is for drift fishing not trolling.

edit then again you could troll a hotdog right now. So do what you want and it will prob work.

Have you seen carolina keepers? I love those things.

They do work great. I like them as well. Sometimes have to double up for larger slide weights which isn't a problem.

Thanks for chiming in guys

The flouro will hold up against the thresher sharks out there also, ive got 40lb mono to 65lb braid to 30lb flouro right now

Just a heads up. Saw a post on BD and tomorrow is the annual outrigger race from DP to Catalina and the ramp and I suspect Baby Beach will be a real cluster F. The post said that if you can't launch before 4:30, you should find another harbor. BD folks tend to believe the sky is falling most of the time but thought I'd pass it along.

Great catches that's a killer bass nice job....

Thanks for the heads up, I think I will wait till Sunday. I found http://www.danaoutrigger.net/9man/ says they're expecting 2000 in attendance with 800 athletes competing tomorrow, so I'd say parking is going to be a nightmare.

Very nice halibut. Congratulations. Sounds like a couple of really good days of fishing.

You are the man! I have been fishing DP at least once a week and haven't got a legal hali for 4-5 months. I've tried north, south, deep, shallow, macs, squid, anchovy, sardine, smelt, lizardfish and been skunked every time. For the past 5 years I usually get an average of 1-2 legal hali every month throughout the year but this year they are as scarce as hens teeth.
Went out Wed and Sat and the T-sharks were everywhere - what a beautiful fish to watch- we hooked up both days. Sat. my buddy hooked a larger T and fought it for 50 minutes and ended up in the middle of 50+ outrigger racers and their chase boats! If you zoom the pic below you may see a kayaker w/ white hat about 1/4 of the frame from left.
My suggestions added to the many excellent ones above: Use a small (1 oz) sliding egg sinker behind carolina stopper or swivel about 3 feet from hook, nose hook big sardine or medium mac, use circle hook with floro or mono leaders to prevent biting through line and use wire leader if using a J-hook. Above all, use extreme caution and wear them out - its really dangerous wrestling with a "green" T-shark! Please consider C&R?
Thanks for the report.
