Fishing Talk / Re: PM Cattle Boat tips?

Had a good fishing trip on the Frelance last night. The half day AM boat had a large Mako on the line but eventually got cut off. So my hopes were for a Mako.
It was pretty much wide open bite on a variety of fish. Macs were constantly around the boat. On the bottom there was lots of short bass and sculpin. There was one sheep head, one Bonito, and a few legal bass. I caught the most unusual thing, probably because I was fishing with Mac chunks. I caught a 40" eel and a small octopus.
With about 30 people on the boat it wasn't too crowded. I left one rod tied to the rail with half Macs on it. Didn't even get any critters to nibble on it. In hind site, I should have cut up a fresh mac or throw a live one out. I tried live sardines and only got the eel.
Thanks for the info. For now I'll be back on the shore too see what I can find.
Cheers, Keith
