Clammer knows...and he knows the spots I mean, too...heh heh heh

When you think of blackfish you usually think of rods as stiff as a pool cue, heavy line and a lot of rigs lost to the rocks...but go wading and try it on a steelie rod with 8-10 lb test and sandworms and it's something else again. In fact, I bought a 9' 10 wt. blank this winter and I'm going to wrap it up as a slip-float blackfish rod

I owe the technique to Uncle Zeke - he turned me on to it last Spring and it puts a whole new spin on it (no pun intended) - and Bryan is right about a damned good tussle.

I took DZ out to the spot where we'd been hitting them and he was amazed that we were wading and 'sight-fishing' for blackfish - some mornings they were rolling on the surface like trout...big fat, tasty trout...

I seem to keep fewer and fewer bass anymore, but you know, when I see one of those buck-toothed beauties, all I can see is a chowder pot with fins

All I have to do is add vermouth

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
