Made my first bait trip this year and trolled freelines and PB’s in the Ballentine area. We picked up 6, but all were shorts. Did get 1 decent cat too.
Gar were about as bad as I’ve ever seen. Only fished 2 freelines and 2 PB’s and still felt like I was re-baiting the whole time. Looking back, we might should have moved, but didn’t have much time, so just stuck it out in the same area.
