Let us go back to about 1972 or so and picture a FAC mid day, after lunch as the fleet comes out on a September day. Bright Sunny afternoon. As I round the first black can I see A. P. Tilton with two rods doubled over half way to the Bell Bouy. I slow down at the # 3 and set out my flat three hooked Norwegian Worm rigs and slowly go off towards twenty five to thirty feet of water.. I again notice Capt. A. P. Tilton but now he has a gaff in his hand and the leader from one of his rods in the other hand. I am approaching within 50 feet or so and A. P. calls over something about "which fish should I gaff first?"
Later we asked him what he had and he said he was fishing a three hook rig and had three fish, all over forty five pounds!
When the fish are there that is a "HOT SPOT", day, night, or in between.
