I may be involving Saltheart in another project then...

I would like to put together a decent primary setup & appreciate everyones imput as to the mechanics on this.

I was under the impression that a larger & more flexible rod would have been an advantage, but it apprears that my thoughts on that were incorrect.

Thanks John.

I'll probably keep the Lami as a standalone bait chucker to have a line in on the side when I fish.

I'm really trying to get away from bottom fishing with chunk bait because it can be extremely boring & un-rewarding in the sense that there is no technique involved with luring a bass to the bait...

I'm looking toward learning how to read the water in regard to tides, ledges, bowls, etc... so that I can participate more in the process of finding & luring a bass to hit a plug or an eel that is presented to them from the surf.

Much too often its been "I cast some bait into the air... and where it lands, I know not where..."

Hopefully some of you out there will offer to let me fish with you this year, just so I can glean from your experience on the surf.

You don't even have to take me to your secret spots... I would be perfectly content just to glean from your knowledge of the water and what to look for while being out there...

Tattoo is one of those people I would love to be able to follow around for a season, and I'm sure that there are others out there with similar knowledge who would be willing to pass on a legacy to those like myself who are willing to be taught.

If anyone is willing to teach... PM me!...

Or at least point me toward a direction that I can go to learn to read the water...

I would appreciate it more than you could ever know...
