made my first trip of spring as surf has vanished for a few days. thought i was going to be skunked and then my reel was zinging. a nice little omilu (blue fin trevally) which gave a good battle on light tackle and will make a couple of tasty meals. i will try to get a camera to show some picks. was trolling minnow strips with a floatthat attracts the fish by splashing through the water about poles lentgh from the strip. 10 lb power pro w 12lb ande leader i use a small#10 or a #8 hook on the strips i like the circle hooks best for the way i fishyozuri crystal minnows work well also i realize this is not your area but i grew up on eastern shore and enjoy this site. aloha, hoaleboy [grin][excited]
