Went out to the south pier last night at 18:00 and packed up the next day at 10:00. Didn't have much to show for it. I used pin and greenbacks as live, then cut bait when they died. Only caught three sharks and a sail cat. I just purchased a Penn conventional reel and hatted it. I couldn't get the casting down, it would keep bird nesting on me. So I traded it back in for a Penn spinning reel. Caught pin's left and right using a small mosquito hook with a small piece of squid... had an endless supply of pin's. Heading back out there on the 12th, going to try some artificials.

If I may... Sounds like you were fishing rather shallow, if not I appologise for the comment. You can do well on the shallow reefs, but only if you are in the right spot and at the right time. Do yourself a favor and sart taking a notebook out with you. Take note's of any good bites, tide's, bait, area, condition. Good logs are worth their weith in Blue Runners!

oh yeah conventionals suck unless you spend a fortune on line to learn how to cast it. Bout all they are good for is deep sea fishing where you just drop the bait str8 down

Bout all they are good for is deep sea fishing where you just drop the bait str8 down As a youngster probably 5 my dad got me a Shakespeare Direct Drive casting reel and a 5 ft. Wonder Rod. He put me out in the yard with a washtub filled with water and loaded my reel with black Dacron line and tied a large casting plug minus the hooks on the end of the line. He told me I could go bass fishing with him when I could consistently land the lure in the tub. It didn't take me long to get the hang of it. Back then the whole idea of fishing for bass was casting into a spot among the lily pads or between the stumps in hopes of landing the lure in the fishiest looking spot along the shore. I still have both the rod and reel, plus I have his Shakespeare President casting reel and his Wonder Rod. Later when they came out with monofilament line we moved up to spinning rods and reels. Took us a while to figure out how to tie the line so it wouldn't cut itself, that was when we learned to tie the clinch knot. |
