Irish i admit i am a horrible typist, but its no typo... i lose a lot of tackle- and i just can't stand it (probably why i am so bad with the salmons and steel heads) so i was thinking, whats cheap and sinks? ESPN was on, golf no less. so i looked it up and the average golf ball weighs 1.5 oz... so i just tie on 2. other people screw in eye bolts, but i just drill through them. i caught a really nice looking fish yesterday, a fellow down there said it was a greenling- was too small to keep. however, i only lost one hook all day- we were there for about 5 hours.
the only down side to the balls is they bounce- and i feel a lot like a strike... takes a little getting used to.
do you know of other places in the area that are more productive?
