i was out last sat nite on the pier, and my buddy got one around 30lb range, it only took him 10min or less on 6lb line talk about an easy fight for a chin this time of the year, they were surfacing all around us for 2 hrs i hooked into one and peeled line like crazy and snapped off, my buddy has the pictrure on his camera, sometime this week i'll post the pic if i have time, i'll be out fri nite again chuckin more spoons again cheers.
the way i look at it, you dont know until you go, and keep trying and the reward will pay off.
