I use 60 pound test mono and 100 pound 3 foot leader. Seem like heavy line? Yes it is, sometimes I can bend the hook off a snag. If I use a fishfinder, the little plastic ring will rip but I'll get my hook/swivel/leader back.
Big fish will strike bait fished on a 100 pound test piece of clear Ande and the heavy line has caught me more than a few nice ones that would have been "sawed off" in the rocks using a lighter line. I use lighter line on a sandy beach, the canal is no place for light line if you want to consistantly catch nice ones. You might get lucky and catch a few using light line, but your going to end up getting sawed off on the rocky ledge and rocks more often than not.
