It's a tough situation Gup...I love fishing Rocks and they don't call these things Rockfish for nothing... I'm
no great lover of braid in rocks...or mussel shoals..maybe it's me ...but I've had it part on a light touch a few too many times for my liking.... even though it cast like crap.. 50 lb Ande and a long rod ( 11' St Croix) and an old Penn squidder has winched more than a few Jumbos from a massive boulder field north of me that is hard to fish anyway except from the land... the tall rod helps me get their head up and turn 'em..it doesn't always work... but I feel the odds are better... also the Ande will stretch and shred ...but it is rugged stuff..it takes a lot for it to actually break... I've had fish wrap up ...I've relaxed the line and had them swim out...I've had about a 50/50 success ratio with that tactic... most nights there... the fish are in close to the drop off and casting is not a problem.. especially with a 4 ounce plug..

catch'em up!

A good run is better than a bad stand!
