next we crawled out of the mangroves and headed over some old lava fields to a spot where l there was a 15' deep channel running through the lava rock to a bigger lagoon. we started chumming and working our way up the food chain. we got some bream(sp), a lot like a scup, and he rigged it up with a couple of hooks and tossed it out as far as he could in hopes for a "rockfish" aka grouper. I started working the channel and got a 3' moray eel, some ballyhoo, pinfish and a small rockfish. then the albies showed up and started crashing the slick. You think albies are frustrating with a fishing rod then you should try a hand line - so no love from them. then there were some bigger shadows that showed up deep and I instantly hooked up on a decent "gray dog" - mutton snapper. put up a pretty good fight and made my day.
