Happy New Years my anglers!!!!
The word ''sabiki'' was very useful this past week.  I made it out with some friends and clients who demanding that we used live bait found at the near by buoy on the way out to the bill fish grounds.  We loaded up the live well with at least 15 blue runners with sabiki rigged poles.  We made a 14 mile run off shore and started trolling dead bait until we found an appropriate live bait spot.  It was 1 hour into our trip that we spotted a large bird resting on what appeared to be a large pillion.  We made a couple passes and nothing was biting, but we knew something was below.  We then got our fin nor spinning gear and shimano bait runners rigged with our live bait and deployed them with a one motor trolling speed.  I mostly had the boat in neutral.  From that point we were busy with the bites.  One after another dorado were hitting the bait and we landed 8 dorado all over 15 lbs, one was 30 lbs on the scale.  As the afternoon slowed down, the sail fish began to take over.  We landed 6 sail fish and hooked 8.  Despite the ''slow'' bite we did alright and we repeated the same procedure with great success for the next 4 days of fishing.  A great way to end 2010, onto another great year of fishing and new interesting clients.

Tight lines!
