Thank you, D3. I run same hooks, but recently switched to a light wire drop shot hook same size as Gammy #4. I also have been using an alternative rigging that is easy to change hooks and doesn't require the doubled up mono. Red hook too, don't know if it matters, but the tine is straight, no curve to the point....sticks them consistently because it's a straight up spear! So far so good, but I've been having trouble firing out the Outbound because my elbow is about shot from 63 days straight fishing on the beach. Finally ended the streak when I left town for Labor Day weekend.

The wind chime was singing last night and early this morning, I opted for sleep followed by Seahawks. Must make up for missed opportunities and right now the wind is calm and the water looks beautiful......tomorrow morning can't get here soon enough.

Take care
Justin
