Funny you mentioning them "crushing" your lures...
I was fishing the smaller white-Sebile-MS, yesterday... after landing a couple of fish, I noticed I had lost the rear trebble, being that it didn't effect the action much, I kept fishing it "as is"...
Shortly thereafter, I missed a couple of fish before noticing that I had lost
both sets of trebbles....talk about the fish "Crushing" your lures!! All they left were the hook stems!! (
yeah, the hooks weren't in the best of conditions)
These fish are strong and furious,...the fight gives you the impression that they're much bigger than they seem, although a 38#er was weighed boatside yesterday by someone

...(
not me)
The scouts led the weigh!! but I believe the biggens are upon us or trickling in, right on schedule too...small window of opportunity, get out there!
Wayne, you gotz to find the guyz with the side-sonar, they have better luck finding the pogies....or the guys cast-netting for em', unless you're having too much fun with plastic!
