At first it is a fluke, then it becomes a targeted fish, pretty soon many shorts are just not enough...so you aim for legals and above and find that after a certain point you REALLY need to be prepared when something BIG hits you... Landing "THAT BIG ONE"...I am talking about the fish YOU, Sinjin and Lokey on numerous occasions landed, the fish that fisherman from the surf just L O N G and wish to discover.
I am happy with a couple of legals two days in a row...A 30" or 40" plus like you guys would be a wonderful surprise one day...someday.
I am happy and done. Thanks again Ron for my recent obsession, you EFFER!
Esoterically...a new pole, a new reel ( with higher retrieve per crank ) and one lure did the trick...and lose the swivel!
