listen to what im telling you.. i was never targeting "good fish".
i was targeting schoolies upto 20 inches.
let me add though, he does have a point. if you aren't comfortable with that style. don't do it. i had been fishing extremely light tackle (nothin over 8lbs, usualy 4lb and 6lb test and a 4ft light and a 5 ft medium rod) since i was i three. giving me 12 yrs experience with very light tackle before i switched over to striper fishing. bringing in fish the size of a decent large mouth was no problem for me.
and if you must know, that 1 keeper was brought in by my buddy in under 10 mins. on 10lb test. it was also when the limit was 36"
that said. no light tackle in waters with currents and/or rough surf. or when fishing for keepers. i know some people here may find incredibly hard to believe that people can go fishing for small schoolies. but they do. it's a fun day. no need to have 20lb test to bring in a 4 or 5 lb fish. unless of course you have never caught anything larger than a bluegill on anything less than 6lb test. also i wouldn't suggest casting any further than 30 or 40 yards.
