I'll be the first to admit braid rules, especially for my type of fishing, however there are times you DON'T want it. Today was a good example, as was Thursday, when two different guest with braid finally caught after picking up my spare rod. Light mono is the key and I'm now using 6 lb stren flurocarbon, which is light but without much stretch. That way I kind of get the best of both worlds. Fishing 3/8-1/2 jigs with 4 inch plastic in 30 feet demands light line to get it down fast, braid isn't the best stuff.
Good day, with 5 people in my boat
, 2 invited guests and two surprise guests from Orange Mass who drove 3 hours on a crap shoot to see if I was there. We all caught, but it was amusing at times. Mike from the CT board had big fish with a 27 incher coming late in the day, I also boated a couple 8 lbers and a ton of schoolies.
The deep freeze is returning so it will be back to work and my painting...double yuk.
