Snook - I know those habs needles are tough to find - even up here. I was out on Marthas Vineyard for the last 2 weeks and was in #^&#^&#^&#^&'s Bait & Tackle in Oak Bluffs ( 508-693-7669 ) He's got a wall full of them. If you call and BEG he may ship some to you - but they did tell me that they're trying not to ship them out so that his regular customers will still be able to buy them as the fall run heats up
Good luck - I got mine!  |

"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.

tarpon
hate to be a pain in the ass....but that hand feeding shot are big tarpon...and they will do that....especially around docks...were they are fed all the time....
the only time in my life ive ever been completely spooled was on a hundred pound monster....(on that xtralong A jointed bomber olive ive been talking about)....took that thing in waste deep water....roughly 15 yards from the beach....about 3 in the morning....right before he snapped the line off my empty spool he was a little jumping white dot way out in the ocean....
this is a snook....30lb 4oz. ......2 fatboys.....
if this is the size fish you new england folk call a mid sized fish....then i may never come home from my honeymoon....live in RI and change my name too "striper stalker" or something silly like that.....snook getter

This is a good size fish in the lower 30# range - not unusual and a good surfcaster that can actually get out to fish enough (  ) will get some of these...
.... And then there are the REALLY bigguns like this one over SIXTY caught last year from the surf:
