Dewman, what kind of dead bait would you recommend for this trip? I'm thinking about a couple of boxes of sardines (boston mackerel) and some whole squid? This would be for whatever bottom fishing we do during the day.
I'm also thinking about hauling some live "black salties" out there with me. Have you ever messed with the Black Salty's?

Primary target species in this area will be yellowfin tuna and blackfin tuna. This drift fishing will begin around sunset and continue throughout the overnight period.
After sunrise Saturday, a run inshore to various structure such as rocks, platforms or wrecks will be made. Targeted species will be amberjack, grouper, kingfish, vermilion snapper, etc. This fishing will be done until time to leave for more tuna fishing at deep water platforms. We should be there around sundown. Drift fishing for yellowfin tuna and blackfin tuna will continue until around midnight. At that time, the run back to Pier 19 will begin, with a projected return time of around 11 AM Sunday.
Running straight out to the spar rigs. Thats the initial plan subject to change of course.
