first go with longlines

[Rabbithunter 456]

We set out 2 lines with a total of 55 hooks, covering approx 150 yards.

 

Baited up with blacklug on mustad 4/0s

 

We didnt quite catch as much as we would have liked, but ended up with two flounders, 1 dogfish (released) and a sea bass

 

Not to bad for our first attempt, better than an empty line. We are hoping to set again tommorow, using peeler crab

forget the worms bud try whelk's they last a lot longer on the hooks put a bit of sand or mud over each

hook to keep the gulls of. if its bass your after

try using smaller hooks 1.0 tops , you will pick up more flats and still hold bass.
