Two ounces? Eight ounces? Where the heck are you guys fishing. IN the rips between BI and Montauk its not the least bit unusual on the moon tides to have to use 16 or 20 ounces to keep the eels down. One thing I forgot to mentions, but someone else pointed out. When you hit the bottom take two or three cranks up, and then hold your rod at a 45 degree angle to the water. Every couple of secondds drop the tip and see if you can feel bottom, if you can't adjust the line so that you can. Ideally you want the sinker about a foot off the bottom all the time.
