We wanted to bottom fish, but did not want to hand line… there were no rods to use and only two hand line were available for four fisherman. Then we went after skip jack, well that was a joke. The method was to locate the birds then cast in and try to SNAG A FISH, in three hours the first mat snaged two fish in the side and we only landed one fish. So with a 10 and 12 boys each had the rod to fight a fish. All in all it was the worse fishing trip in the 50 years I have fished. It will not happen again!!!
