I fish sand because it's handy to me and it's what I know. Like Karl, Iam lost on rocks, but God help me, I'm learning to love them. I use a 1209 custom from Betty and Nick's( thanks Charleston)there with a 704z loaded with 50 or 65# pp. I'm leaning toward the 65 these days.
I use as a go to 9' Tica which has been very very good to me.
My favored reel is a 710z, in fact the Penn 700 series speak to me. With 30 #pp.
Plugs, you freakin' guys turned me on to plugs and I'm forever doomed to wood. But I will occasionally cheat on the tree with an eel.
June has always been my most reliable freezer filling month. BUT the Fall Late Sept/Early Nov. has some real glory days now and then.
Every day or night that I get on the sand is a gift from God to me , and it's where my bliss is...

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
