Mmmmm. Love me some Hamachi!
When I moved to West Palm , a friend had a ski boat. I bought some Bally and we tore up the schoolies and got a nice older couple on an August morning in 28 ft of water. I thought I was a genius and life would be easy. Here I am after 5 hrs. of riggin {Yeah I`m still slow} and I`m hoping to get just 1 nice Hoo.
Dohrados may very well be the perfect gamefish. They grow faster than we can deplete them. Elephants also love peanuts, but now that we have a 20" fork limit you can`t use the peanuts for bait anymore.

Hey Tarpun,
Just back in. HOT. Dragged an Islander /horse bally combo 30 ft. behind of a 2#cigar weight on the 50, a Braid Marauder, a Yozuri bonita, and a split beak naked Bally on a planer. Spent the whole morning clearing weeds working in 90ft and wondering what I was doing wrong. All were red/purple and black, except for the big blue and white teaser just behind the wash. Had 1 huge hit on the Bonita but missed the hooks. Cracked it right in half!
