Good to hear

Loaded up on Sat just off the SF park. There are some large blues that have settled in just outside ther harbor, which I think is contributing to the macs being inside.

Had a number of run-offs on Sat. But the macs would be dropped before I could engage the drag (bait runners). I am going to try hooking through the nose vs just forward of the dorsal fin to see if it makes a difference.

I have always had success hooking through the nose on most fish, but especially macs. There is a hard bone in the front that keeps the hook from pulling out.

There were plenty of macs in Gloucester Harbor this evening. Loaded up with about 50 of them in a half hour.
