Looks good!
I've never had smoked BFT. Sure looks tasty though
I had a 2 day last wknd. Caught my 2 day limit in 1 hour. It was the most WFO i've ever seen. I mostly ate it sashimi, I did some killer poke, and some rare BFT chipotle fish tacos. I'm in a BFT coma, although I think I could be talked into some of that delicioso smoked stuff.
Here's what worked for me, for the guys going on the upcoming trips.
Right off the jig strike, use your heavy gear. The fish coming off the slide wont be as line shy. After you get one, step it down to 30 or 25. There are some brutes in the mix, but nothing that your shouldn't be able to get in. If the bite turns into a pick, step it down to 20.
Thx for the boaters report
