Great trip guys! Every time I hear a report from down there it seems more impressive. Some real bruisers and those are probably average size fish. Good to see you had a successful trip. What is prime time for that fishery. Is it seasonal like cat fishing up here? Can't even imagine what those things must look like coming up from the depths! How do they fight compared to a flathead?

winter seems to be the best according to the guys down there; fish stack more and are still eating. they bite like nibbling panfish surprisingly haha, but once you hook them they bulldog, twist, shake, and pull out little bursts of drag if they're big enough. they really don't like to come up near the boat either haha. with the water cold though i'm sure they don't fight as hard as they would in the late spring, fall or summer. plus we're using gear that can handle fish upwards of 100lbs since those are swimming around in there too!

Dan, your message box is full, send me an email...chrisper4694@hotmail.com

November till about April is prime, they start spawning come may and June. Action slowly picks back up in July and gets better every month till it peaks again in November. Can catch smaller fish anytime but winter is for the big fish
