I use about 20lb class tackle because I'm typically using up to 8oz of lead...always braid. The cars out there have hot and cold so hopefully u'll get a hot time. I've not done any sharkin so I can't help u out with that.
Just wondering what kind of tackle you guys use down at the cars in chincoteaque its my first time ever fishing the ocean any tips? Really would like to catch a few flounder and catch a shark or two would be neat.
