      For the live bait I used a sinker rig, which is a sinker rubber banded to the line at the knot between the Fluro and main line. I had a 2-0 circle on the mackerel and 1-0 circles on the sardines. I had them at 60ft, 30ft and one fly lined.
      For the trolling I was going around 5-7knts with a spreader bar.
