We estimated between 200-250 hung yesterday morning. I caught three and hung seven. They said late yesterday afternoon was just as good! Lots of big tiger sharks swimming around if you are in the area and want to sight see.

If pier fishing, when you get to the GSPP, I'd recommend keep heading east another hour or so. Fishing at GSPP is all but dead
