We were able to get on a school right out of the gate and had 3 fishing hanging by 4:30 am. We got 13 bluefin from 25-35 pounds out of our first stop. After day light we where seeing fish but it was tough to get a bite. We hung 6 fish through out day and landed 1 of them. The light line and small hooks were the key during the day, in the dark it was 40 pound and flat falls or torpedo rigs
