Damnn things just dove into the shelf of the beach and bumped up the slope with the tail wiggling in the outwash. If they hadn't been there I'd have fished eels all night confident there where no fish to be found. I'll try to post a picture of their idea this pm.

Numb,
This is a great post and why I love this site. I use this lure a lot from the boat but I like the mods and the surf story. I was wondering what difference you saw in action when grinding off the lip edge?
