I know guys use braid in rocky areas with no issues, but I've always had issues and stick with mono!
I only troll macks behind the yak, but in that area I see everyone using balloons!

Thank you all. Just so happens there is a party store on the way to visit my mother in the memory care facility this hot afternoon...... Will check out the balloon aisle!

No macs in Narr bay, (that I have seen). No one uses floats for the pogies.

No boat, back in the suds.

Lately I don't go above 25 lb leader or mainline for stripers; typically my "heavy" setup is going to be a conventional reel with 25 lb flouro leader and 20 lb mainline. I'm usually too scared to get that close to rocks though so am not livelining into rockpiles either.
Sometimes I don't think it's makes a difference but for instance last year off p-town I noticed far less action on my reels that had 40 flouro & 30 mainline. I normally don't use use anything like that but had set them up thinking I could really haul fish into the boat; the result was I just caught less fish and went to the lighter stuff. Tried keeping the reels in play & went down to 20 lb leader but those rods still got completely outfished by the 20 leader & 17 lb mainline combination; seems like even with a 3 ft leader a heavy mono mainline can shy them off in some situations (but if any fish have had practice selecting safe food it's that mass off p-town!).

Nope, just the opposite. Using 3ways or egg style to get those things right near the bottom. |
