Rask, blackmouth fishig at the Bar is really good right now. If ever there was a fishery set up for mooching, it is the winter blackmouth fishery, Use light gear small hooks, and jig up your own bait. [it is legal to have a rod out with a herring jig, and to be fishing with another rod, at the same time.}Please use a release tool, and not a net, as you will be releasing a lot of undersized fish. But hey, if sitting there for hours at a time, watching your rod is your thing, [some call it boat plunking], then by all means, keep on trolling, but Please have someone in your boat watch where you are going, and Please don't cut across my lines.
