Been getting up around 3:15 -3:30 and heading to the same area and fishing for a couple of weeks now. Managed a 19 lb'er on the 4th so I just kept hitting the area. I've been hooking up w/ spinncognito and his dad for some before work fishing. Been seeing a lot of nice fish coming out of there lately. Spinncognito got his biggest ever yesterday Morning.
They've been keying on herring so I threw out a whole one on my bait-runner, about 5:00 AM the thing starts screaming. I've been having an issue lately where I haven't been giving enough time for the fish to run w/ it before I set the hook (even happened once this morning...DOH!!) so I gave it a few more to run and then set the hook. A few minutes later I was just enjoying the moment.
And the Rest, as they say, is History.

Where I've been going I tried Eels a couple of times and didn't even get a tap. They want the herring. I usually get at least one solid hit a trip on it.
Now if I can just practice a little patience on the hook set I should be in business. |

are u using conventional or spinning gear?
if ur using conv. its much easier to run a fish and set the hook
and if ur using circle hooks........just slow the spool with ur thumb (apply decent pressure) then engage the spool and raise the rod slowly to alow the fish to hook herself. #1 rule don' get excited when u get a hit get excited when u beach a fish ....u can trip over your own feet then if you want you still got a fish

I'm a spin guy
When I get a few more fish under my belt I may try out the conventional setups.
Gk2 - Thats pretty much what I was thinking about when I posted it. |

Attaboy!
Way to go  |
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

Nice advice Slingah, when I first started fishing I couldn't catch a 30. Skipped right over to a 40 instead to my suprise. My buddy Gary couldn't get a 40 so this year he skipped right to a 53. It always pays to be a bit lucky in the terms of big fish
