Personally I exclusively use (the "Gucci") Owner Mutu or Super Mutu hooks for bait. I rarely use J-hooks anymore as the mortality rate for gut hooked fish is very poor and circle hooks normally catch in the corner of the mouth. So if I catch a fish I don't feel is big enough to keep I can release it fairly confidant that a release won't be fatal. I also was going through one of my Long Range boxes and remembered that during an El Niño year ('83 I think) I was on a 7-day trip and we ran down south and ran into a school of Wahoo mixed in with some Tuna . I lost a number of fish on bait and a couple jigs , so now I keep at least one spool of single strand wire (45# for 40-60# bait/jig tossing) and a couple welded rings in my box. You might want to see if any boats have run into any further north than normal otherwise don't worry about it. (This was just an afterthought!) Other than that I wish you tight lines, all day action/stops and hefty limits, FFY. |

D Day!
Again boys, thanks for all the advice. My trip takes off tomorrow at 1100. I know it will be a blast. I feel like I am prepared thanks to all of you. I have been putting lines on reels, packing tackle, packing everything for six days. If I don't have it, oh well! I will report back soon...
