First off, that's a sweet ass rod/reel you are casting! Congrats on the PB Leopard. I'm not sure what is going on here with the Soupies and the Sevengill's. They seem to be running later as every year goes by!
I can't wait to start seeing some nice grinners from up there when the bite starts to happen!
Thanks! It’s a Penn Carnage ii and an Avet MXJ. I’ve been a little paranoid that I’ll get schooled by an odd white or BSB, most people would probably go next size up with the reel, but I've yet to fret in a fight. The XH rod sure seems to kick a critter’s ass, that’s for sure.
I took a look at that chart you made of all the bigger species that have been caught on the forum and realized A: ray chunks will catch 7s and whites but not soups, and B: it looks like it’s might be too late for soups up here and too early for 7s. Doesn’t stop me from trying though.
I’m just gonna keep going out on Sundays until it pops open. I’ve got a new spot I have a theory about as well, but it may be such a steep beach that it would pose a safety issue while reviving big sharks.
