We took a stab at it on April 27. Fished the bridge rubble as it was rough. Three king strikes, no fish and like you the worst cigs I've ever had. This Sunday (5/4/08) fished near the 18's. Much better box of minnows, that wenever used, as we had plenty of live bait. 3 Kings (One decent, one legal, one throw back), 3 Snapper (2 Keepers), 1 Throw back AJ, and 1 marginally legal cobia that I released for fear it was short. All fish but one was caught w/ skirted live cigs, deep off the downrigger.

I had some minnows do the same thing from same supplier...Think the brine will help, but had a lot fall apart just cutting up to bottom fish!:banghead
