Wow thanks Terry. I guess with the 4lb u get a lot sensativity to pick small bites, but I guess the tradeoff is the slightess nick in the mainline and its all over. I always though snapper were dirty fighters too, so either that assumption is wrong, or that was one dumb fish!

LMAO, Terry and a dumb fish all in the same sentance lol.

i hope so i have a 5.5 meter good question

[Terry H]

I can't answer that question sorry, but an alternative launch site would be inside the passage and head out through the bar. I didn't get too close to, and didn't really look at the bar, but even the other day (wasn't that big of a swell) it was breaking pretty well

thanks Terry

Yeah I figured there must have been some serious structure about if there are big snapper around. Or so I would have thoughB)

[Jeryl]

As Lee found out the marker is a serious bit of structure. I believe schultzy found that out a few times before too

But seriously I think if theres no structure for ages, any bit of structure, despite how small will house fish

Terry if your desperate for a yakka next time just try a bait jig next to the beacon, might even get a slimy or two;)
