No messing around with light gear for coastal fish.
OK, I've posted here long enough (IMHO), that I'll trash talk -- let's go bankfishing on a coastal river, you take your 25# or whatever, and I'll spool up 8 or 10... let's see who hooks more.
If I sound cocky, it's because I've played this game so many times, it makes me laugh. Been with so many... "old schoolers," or whatever that train of thought is, and seen how this deal goes down.
BUT... I ain't better than you, and couldn't care less how you fish. If you boat/bank fish and you know your deal, stick with it. I'm not here to judge - just give you a hard time. My deal is my deal, yours is yours, and they both rock. I'm just sayin' than anyone who thinks lighter gear doesn't hook more fish isn't quite thinking right. I don't care where and whatf you're fishing for -- pretty much a universal rule -- hard to argue. And a rarely pop a button. But I guess we can't all be zenmasters of the fight, right? So do what works for you.
I just want us all to have a good time and catch fish. And if someone can learn from my years of beating wateer to death, I'm happy, since I learn something on this site every time I log in. And for this, I thank you all.
