I got my boat out for the first time this year. I put my CFF stickers on the boat. Then I installed the driftmaster rod holders that I ordered over the winter. <br /><br />My wife and daughter came along to keep me company.<br /><br />We went to the not so secret spot with chicken breast. We stayed for a couple of hours. I only caught two fish, the first was 15 pounds and the second was 2 pounds. <br /><br />I also landed about a 30&#39; piece of yellow monofilament that had a 2 oz sinker and a large circle hook on it. The barb on the circle hook was mashed flat. I liked the rig. It was tied so that the sinker was lower than the hook and the hook stuck off to the side 3 to 5 inches. I wonder who&#39;s rig I snared.. I have to use a three way swivel to get the same results. I remember when I was fishing off shore last year in Tybee Island GA. The captain used the same sort of setup for bottom fishing. I&#39;d like to learn how to tie that.<br /><br />I&#39;ll attach a picture of the 15 pound Blue.
