Yes it's nice to just get out there, definitely making me want it more!

Did you fish the outlet? It can be pretty jungly at times. Sorry to hear you struck out, did you see any signs of leopard love in the water?

Adam, I was at the estuary.  I didn't get out there till almost dark so it was hard to see.  I was looking in the water with my headlamp every time I waded out to cast but didn't see anything.  PM'd ya.

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / 4/11 for Nada

Well unfortunately not much to report.
I didn't have as much time as I'd hoped but was able to spend a couple hours on the sand at the top of the incoming tide. Had a couple of bites but all I brought in was kelp. The surf was picking up and there was a pretty strong downhill current.
Glad most of you had better luck!

Mike,
Thanks for the recommendation!
I'd love to pic up one of those rods, but even as a budget rod, it still doesn't fit mine LOL.
I got some line for the jigmaster, but am going to have to stick with the rod it's on for now.
My budget will pretty much only allow for bait at this point.  I'll keep it in mind for down the road though!

Wondering if anyone will be heading out on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?
I'm planning on fishing and thought I'd check to see if anyone wants to meet up.

Tackle Talk / Penn 500 Jigmaster

« on: April 08, 2015, 04:11:33 PM »

Ok feel free to flame away if I'm off base here LOL
I was going through all my tackle and getting organized after our move and forgot I had this setup.
It's a Penn 500 jigmaster on a 7' tuna stick that I had picked up as a combo at Sports Chalet 12-15 years ago.
Took it on a day boat once and never used it.
I'm wondering if I could use this as a second setup for rays and sharks?
I'm thinking mainly in the bays/harbors since it's pretty short for surf use. 
How is this reel for casting?

Thanks for the great info and tutorials!
Do any of you sell these pre made rigs?
I'd love to get my hands on some to use until I can get the tools and materials to start making my own.
