When you think of blackfish you usually think of rods as stiff as a pool cue, heavy line and a lot of rigs lost to the rocks...but try it on a steelie rod with 8-10 lb test and sandworms and it's something else again. In fact, I bought a 9' 10 wt. blank this winter and I'm going to wrap it up as a slip-float blackfish rod 
I owe the technique to Uncle Zeke - he turned me on to it last Spring and it puts a whole new spin on it (no pun intended) - and Bryan is right about a damned good tussle.
I took DZ out to the spot where we'd been hitting them and he was amazed that we were 'sight-fishing' for blackfish - some mornings they were rolling on the surface like trout...big fat, tasty trout...
I seem to keep fewer and fewer bass anymore, but you know, when I see one of those buck-toothed beauties, all I can see is a chowder pot with fins 
All I have to do is add vermouth  |
Put some more wine to it. I like to get buzzed from eating your chowder. Yours is just a big yummy!
Chuck, remember the rod we saw at SWE tow or three months ago, a 10 ft convench fast action tica rod? Will it do good for blackfish?
