I'm back-
The weather was just horrible out there, and after talking to some friends on the mainland I couldnt justify staying there and maybe catch a few big fish, when i could go home, and catch a hundred or more fish....
I didnt land anything worth mentioning, but one fish took me for a ride. For all I know it could have been a shark, and when it was done with me I was left feeling used and violated  This fish peeled off more line than any fish i have ever fought in my lifetime.. With my VS250, it took about 3/4 of my spool on 2 slid runs an broke me off on a boulder.All i can say for the guys who are going out there is that there is little to zero bait on the southside and the plugs that I and others has luck with were by far the last plugs that a Bockisland fisherman would use...
I did catch my first albie and that was a gift i will never forget. What an awesome fish that was... It was a big one, weighing around 10-13 lbs and it burned out my penn slammer 360 
So I'm back, and happy to be with my family... thats also another big factor why i left early  |

Ya must have run into my buddy, RS out there. 
Eben - tell me more about your burned out Penn 360 Slammer. I know of a guy who cooked his 560 Slammer on a Cape Fear rod (demo outfit) on a med tuna - but he never went into what actually happened to the drag. Please iterate. |

Maddog yes Rich and I fished for 2 days.... great guy, and he knows his stuff. Infact i need to get him up to my home turf sometime soon
the penn is grinding a bit when i turn the handle. I havent taken a good look at it, but before the fish it was a very smooth reel. now after that fish it is not the same... I dont think its the drag, but the gears.......I'll strip it down in a few days and see what is wrong... who knows i might have got sand in it 
Strider.... I wish.. i wish.. |

Eben, sucks you didn't see much action. Got any wood you don't need?
About the slammer...

My 560 is on the shelf after one season, gummed up every time it looked at the water, stripped a couple teeth on the main gear last time I used it. They're made out of some kind of alloy or aluminum, not very durable 
You need another VS I think  |
