§ Captain Danny Hunter up first, he shared his success, techniques & presentations of his last few trips. Also indicated what type rods, reels, lines, leaders, lures, & hooks he prefers to use. Ne of his tools he uses a lot is his side scan to locate the oyster reefs along the bottom that he fisher over.
§ Captain Gallo up next gave us his comments for this time of year for fishing & catching, and it seems he too concurs comments about crossing Lake Borgne to fish & catch the Silverwonders.
§ Captain McCabe presentation was an audience participating one, and his subject was knot tying. What is your favorite knot for mono, brad, flour carbon, and joining various type lines together, and which one was the best. Captain McCabe indicated the best is the one YOU have most confidence in. There were at least 4-5 various type knots tied, seem each Captain had their favorite they like to use. Captain McCabe also demonstrated the drop shot rig arrangement configuration for us.
All in all, it was a night filled with intel / info / insight that can and will be put to use in the up-and-coming days, week, months of fishing & catching by all participants of this event.
