And I did.

- Up here we use a lot of three way rigs when targetting halibut and bottom fish. Our catch rate went up when we ditched our three way rigs for reverse dropper loops.

- One of the deadliest rigs on our trip last year was a simple one or two ounce egg sinker directly above a 2/0 or 3/0 live bait hook. I felt like I was missing a few bites due to the fish biting the sinker, so I added a barrel swivel maybe 2" above my hook. Basically just a Carolina rig with a super short leader.

- Bring your live well or bait tube. If we end up with big 'dines or macks they won't last long in a Plano bucket.
