Caught this little guy yesterday by the Island. Saw some busting action, but of course they were always out of reach of this poor shore fisherman. Sucks. I just wanted to post this picture because I was happy that it looked healthy and not anorexic. Looks like they are making a comeback. Not many big ones though, but we'll see in a few years!
Shimano Curado 51E: great reel for smaller lures. Highly recommended. Souped up with Boca orange seal ceramic spool bearings.
Texas Sidewinder rod (Rainshadow RX8 blank) w/spiral wrapped guides.
Xcalibur XRK25 "one-knocker" lipless crankbait. Seems to work a lot better here than the kind with a thousand BB's inside.
