Hiya David...best wishes to you in the new year!
I didn't target the butts this year as much as I used to...didn't renew my commercial license for the year; too much other stuff going on.
My biggest was a 32; I think it was early July outside of Marmetta...12 fathoms, bounce gear. Tough fish, spunky girl. Sardine in the hoochie.
Got a handful in the 20's, with another handful in the teens. Most fish were island fish; coast was more slow than it was anything else.
Biggest ever was actually a coastal girl at 44lbs...late June, up the line from town. Again, bounce gear. This was 4 or 5 years ago...she was a bit of work! That was a good day...fishing commercial and had the big girl, two over 30, and three over 20.
She came up like a big brown door. BSB that day too.
Made a few pennies!
Best commercial day was 16 fish on the coast....all from way up the line. All between 10 and 30. Sweet day.
