    Hey 247fisher,

    Way to hang in there! You're right, there are a lot of variables when it comes to surf fishing!
    The S.W.A.T. Team is a very good source of Intel. to tap into.
    I enjoyed reading your report!

    Won't get more distance with a Luna, drop your curado off with me and $50 and ill supertune and throw in ceramic bearings and a carbontex drag. I cast my e7 with one brake on and almost no spool tension.
