We rigged up again and made another pass longlining and caught another fish or two but got hung up on multiple poles again. I had plates on my boat to move my rod holders to a spider rigging position so we backed off into the shade, moved them and moved another seat up front. We slowly drifted back across that spot and hammered them. I'd much prefer to use jigs due to ease of use but I noticed this spring that you have much less time to get a hookset or they're off. The way these hit Friday afternoon, jigs would have been just fine. They literally were hitting them on the run and loading the poles on the bite. The bites were the most aggressive I've seen yet while using rod holders. I was moving about .3mph
Great info! Thanks
