I am out of Charleston SC. I love to fish with my friends and I love video recording our trips.

We fished straight out in 500-650ft on the 240 line. The water was 74-76 degrees. We got a late start do to a friend's boat that was taking on water. We stayed with them until the Coast Guard was on scene and they made it back to the ramp with no problem.
We got lines in at 8:30am and then it was on and we stayed covered up all day. We got some incredible video of what a quadruple header looks like under water. The new Zman dredge on Titanium Cable arms with 48 indestructible baits raised a swarm of dolphin. They were yanking the baits and bumping into the camera! The new Marlin Mud flaps on the back of the squid chains with Islander chrome domes on top of them were awesome as well and raised a bunch of dolphin.
This trip we fished with 9/0 Eagle Claw circle hooks with Baitmasters pee wee and small/medium ballyhoos. In my opinion, the ballyhoo swim better, are easier to rig and catch more fish than J hooks. Not to mention that they always hook in the corner of the mouth and help release billfish unharmed. I can also carry a ton of bait in my cooler because there are no hooks or leaders coiled up. Also, we saw tons of hammerhead sharks and free jumping sharks. It seems like every year around 4/30 I see lots of sharks. In 2008 we had a shark steal half of a huge wahoo.
