didn't put much of a fight that the lil SX couldn't handle.Want to give props to Lou aka Heaver fer the customs fer building my rods.

about an hour later and more doggies later I land the 2nd keer,39 1/2 on the slosh and 1509.

more action shots on the surf, when NTKG's roomate ,Marshall,develops the disposable.

BW...congrats on the fish Marshall!He picked up a 40 1/2 and a 37 1/2 also.
Mashall,as I understand,is new to the surf,and I was honored to help him land his 1st bigguns!

Now if we can keep Neil off he phone during he bite :D ;) :D

Mine were caught on Jigs..

Most of the ones up there were on bait.. Bait fishing requires a little heavier tackle,so you can heave enough weight to hold in a stiff current,and also a big slab of menhaden,or whatever cut bait you may have.. Spinner or conventional rod rated for at least 6 or 8nbait. Reel with 15 to 25 line..
Lure fishing you can use much lighter as you don't have to hold,just reel.. Throwing anything from poppers to hopkins,bucktails, and diamond
jigs..The new swimming lures are nice too,Tsunami and such. A ton of plugs to choose from also.. I go as light as a 9ft tica and 3500 diawa spinner,with 8di-20lbtest fireline.As heavy as a 12ft loomis,6500abu and 15lb test..You can go lighter,depends on conditions you are fishing in.. ;)
