Even with 5 people on board you are going to have a nightmare trying to get the lines cleared fishing 7 lines for Hooters! 5 max and once you find the fish only 1 line in the water per person is enough. Hooters travel in packs and if you get 3 or 4 hooled up trolling 7 lines you are going to have a real heartbreak when you loose a couple of fish because of tangles.
2 plugs really short (20') 2 other baits on riggers and an islander type in blue/white with some meat stuffed inside 200-300' back is fine.
