Re: This Weekend!
What size trebel? I am new to mackerel but I have used circle hooks before. But I am sure that a trebel will be better. I need all the help I can get so 3 hooks is better than 1!

Re: This Weekend!
depends on the type of bait used... down to #6 for small baits and up to 2/0 for hardtails/spanish...
most common probably#2 or #4Give a googan a king, and he can eat for a day. But teach a googan how to kingfish, and he'll be dead of mercury poisoning inside of three years

Re: This Weekend!
Listen to what you're told and if the bite is on you stand a good chance of at least getting a hook up. Landing a hooked king is never a sure thing, so don't get frustrated if you lose a few before decking one. Best bet is just to smile and say, "Thanks for the advice" when someone offers to help - whether you plan on taking the advice or not.. oke1:
I'd never accuse anyone of being touchy...... :Screw it. Let's ride.

Is there a particular color on the sabikis that works better than others? I was having a very hard time catching bait last week when I was seeing other people catching.

I do best with #10 gold hooks

Re: This Weekend!
The best for small LYs are the ones with small hooks and flies.
the ones @ BPS are no longer $.99 but $1.29 and they have the small green beads :
They are OK for larger LYs, Spanish Sardines and hardtails.
Like Peaches suggested small gold hooks (#8 or #10) are going to be a good (and cheaper alternative).(RETIRED) mostly.

A good way for us to all "calibrate" the turbidity numbers will be for people to report their general impression of visibility pretty often (including time of day) at the station. Which brings up...
