Notes: I recommend using the feeder tubes and bottom fishing them vs using a bobber. I did not use any feeder bait. I set up 2 rods with the 3-rod holder and was able to get a bunch of hits. Hook size #5/0 seemed tp be the majic nimber. Moving to #6/0 and #7/0, I was constinently getting the “use a smaller hook” message.
More to come as I collect more data. Pinas Bay is next on the list.
