On my dad's rig, we tighten it just enough to keep tension one the line and a slight bow in the rod based on the conditions.  If there's a strong current or weeds it needs to be tighter.  Even then, it's always still light enough that a fish can take line without dragging his gear out to sea.

Nice fish Edgar!  So cool to see them caught on unconventional baits!  Going to have to open my mind to other bait options, especially if they are fresh.
Can't wait to hook a soupfin!

Nothing unconventional about catching the fish in the area and using them as bait. I've had no luck with croakers though.

I guess unconventional is the wrong word.  I just meant something other than mackerel LOL

Ron and Joe,
When using your golf bag, do you remove/install the reels from the rods each time you load/unload to fish?

One thing I'm looking for is a better way to carry my gear/terminal tackle.  Right now I just have it all in a back pack.  This is nice to just throw over my shoulders for walking to the fishing spots, but pretty unorganized with everything lumped together. 
Any recommendations for some sort of tackle bag?

For Father's Day my family gave me a Bass Pro Shops gift card and a family trip to the Rancho store one day in the next couple of weeks.
I'm stoked because I've never been to one of their stores before!
I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas/recommendations for good deals or products there?
I'm sure I'll be a bit overwhelmed with all the cool stuff LOL

I might give the harbor a shot again. Although my luck there has never been too good.
