Left the dock at 6:15. Started running straight out saw the thunderstorm, so we turned south a little bit. I was sceptical about the storm so i stopped in 65’, and started fishing. I figured i would just try to catch some kings and call it a day. Well before i had all the lines in the water the left rigger snapped, and bam we had a peanut in the boat. Went on to catch 3 more decent gaffers and a rather small king. We never went deeper that 75’ due to gas issues and the weather. I was really surprised to see the dolhin in that close this early. We trolled back through one of the spots where we coaught the dolphin and had a huge hit the peeled my 3/0 senator then pulled the hook. My guess was a wahoo but i didnt think they would be in so far. It fought straight down so i knew it wasnt a dolphin. My girlfriend did a great job driving and doing her fair share of angling all day while my cousin and I ran the baits. Thought you guys might like my cheap outriggers that worked exceptionally well. Packed it up at 11:45 and ran home with the waves following us, luckily because it had kicked uo quite a bit. The jetties and dynamite hole were like a ■■■■ washing machine. The lehi squitch black and purple was the hot color. The huge hit was on a Ilander black and pink.
probably a big king is what peeled that reel we had one sunday made a huge run but after we turned him he came in like a hoo almost no fight straight to the boat
hey fish, all i did was mount some gunnale mount rod holders in the center console, and got some ten foot PVC put little eye screws like every 1.5 feet and then got the outrigger clip. All together it cost me like $60. ill post some pics this afternoon
tide my GPS said i was 25 miles from the end of the north jetty

nice i m thinkin abiut getting some of the 14 foot fishin rods at walmart and rigging those up i think they would work great as an outriggers only $30 a peice, cause the are light and i could just put them in a rod holder when i was running.
