Nice! Show the lure. What kind of poles and what test line were both of you using?Masher said:Been known to catch a few fish from time to time.....Here's a few good memories

The Lure is called a Stealth, and in these parts they are nick named a Wobbler, for the side to side action they create.
My Set up is for beach fishing.
I use 13' Fiberglass Composite rods fiberglass/graphite mix.
65 lb Power pro braided line for the main line on 40XSV Diawa Sealine open faced reels for distance casting.
120 lb Berkley Trilene Saltwater soft mono for leaders....these fish are not line shy and I have lost bigger fish using 50# mono.
I cast it out using 16oz of lead and I cast it out about 300' to get it into the zone.
They are approx the size of an open palm.

Nice - I assume you mean you cast out 300 feet. That's far! I surfcast for big Blues and Stripped Bass. I've landed a striper on a boat, but not yet from shore. My best guess is that I get 40-50 yards max with my setup: Big Ugly Stick, (I think 10 feet) Penn Spinfisher V Spinning Reels: SSV7500 spooled up with 30 lb mono and up to a 4 oz Kastmaster. I fished last year with 20 lb braid and cut my casting finger so badly that it took months to heal.Masher said:dragon49

Love fishing, just haven't done so in years. 5 hour trip to the coast for me.

do you use a floater of some sort in the middle to get the wobbler off the the bottom?
I ashamed to post my little bait after seeing those kings!!
Headed to NC PA and fished 4 or 5 counties along the way. All the main waters with large browns were washed out so fished some FFO tribs and small headwaters. 5" of rain knocked down all the foliage,but still some phenomenal hiking. Always good to have nature shrink you down a bit.

I can’t argue with the weather we've had so far this fall, besides the lack of rain it has been really pleasant. Seeing the doom & gloom on the horizon a plan comes together to try and hit virgin lake territory for both of my buds in which if you know these guy's those kind of lakes are very few & far in between. This trip would have us paddle & portage 4 lakes to our destination & hopefully fish would greet us when we got there. We meet up, start to unpack our gear & my one bud says " I brought a small motor, thought it might help with the big lake" well yes, YES it did, especially on the home trip! After crossing the big lake, the motor got stashed in the bushes & it was paddles from there onward. Portage & cross our second lake, portage into the third & our expectations were dashed abit. There was a cash of 3 boats stashed on this third lake coupled with not a single bite we thought our last lake might be a dud. After following a beaver trail that put us in the wrong direction, we stashed our boats & made our way to the fourth lake thinking there might be a few stashed boats...nope, so back we go to grab our boats. This fourth lake was truly beautiful & while nothing bit at first it wouldn't be long. My one bud was chucking spoons while the other one & I were floating worms. I wouldn't say the lake was on fire but we had a very steady pace of hook ups or hits. Most Brookies were decent in the 1/2 to 1 lb range with some larger & smaller of course, one of my friends had a nice one spit the hook on shore. Had a incredible shore lunch of sausages cooked on hot rocks, beer & whiskey helped take the edge off the cold front blowing through which brought rain/sleet, hail for a moment & snow as we were leaving.
We certainly put the boots to her this day, started at sun up & ended with a drop of light left. Body is still sore 3 days afterwards but man I wouldn't trade one second!
