had the bolton boys on and we fished one of the local wrecks and it was full of plump coalies and pollack around the 4lb mark...must have had over 300 fish coming up 3or5 at a time.
stopped on the skate mark on the way back and used some of the smaller coalies for bait......huss initially and then I hooked into a skate......120lb male that took 3/4hr to land.
