Good luck men. Have you used the sabiki rigs before? Any specific brand or color work better? I am heading up in a couple weeks for the first time and have been tying up some dropper type leaders with Hali's, teardrops, and other small jigs. Was thinking about ordering a few Sabiki rigs to have as backup or to let the unprepared friend use. Thanks

Are you going to be using the house boards at all? I've heard sabiki rigs have been working really well on them. Good luck!!

Sounds like a good time, even with the light catch. Do you mind sharing the contact info where you went? I think me and my kids may want to give it a shot

I'm heading up in 2 weeks to hit bakers, the incoming night tide hopes to be promising. We have never done it before so we are trying to keep our expectations in check as I have read they can be hard to get out of the hole for beginners, takes some real finesse. In that case we will have the cigars and beverages ready to roll. Were the 6 landed on sabikis or the house gear? Thanks
