I was going to try to get out and catch some of those Spanish and keep some to rig for offshore. What I was wondering was should I rig them and then freeze or freeze, thaw and then rig the night before/morning of an offshore trip? I didn't know if freezing mono would do any damage like reduce its breaking strength. Hope you guys/gals with experience can offer some help.
Thanks in advance!

first off i would gut them as soon as they stop floppin thin brine them then freeze them then rig the night b4 the trip

Thanks Josh!!

Skinny - why use spanish- wont the bally work just as well?

Ballyhoos are great bait. Macks are usually run off the flat line with an islander infront of it for marlin. You could use a big horse ballyhoo, too, but I think macks hold up better. I know a charter capt that keeps a mack ready to go as a pitch bait if Mr. Blue Marlin come into the spread.

I use one in the shotgun WTFB behind a Bird or Spreaderbar for Mr Blue.We did it last year several times with out any luck but you never know.The Mullet work great also .I do a bridal rig on large baits like albecore,Spanish they swim better and its an easy way to do it.
