    2?!?! those things are pricey LOL

    If I just didnt buy the Seigler I'd probably take you up on that one (but I really wanted a lefty for my fuctup wrist)

    I also have a larger offshore reel I've never used. DAIWA Seagate LW 60H. Definitely a Tuna reel and I did put a power handle on it too. I already got my AVETs and the TLD 30IIA.

    They were giving those away at the time. I have no idea why but an OJ2000 for 4 even sounded like a steal. It was... :)

    Ha... I'm a sucker for a deal too. That's why I grabbed that Seigler LG for him.... if he doesnt want it, I'll keep it.

    No thanks on the Seagate. No levelwinds for me, at least not for big game / fast drag pulling stuff (I do still use a pair of old Penn 320GTs when I fish off the beach in my kayak though)

    Ha. Nice....
    Now a yo-zuri "bull pop" popper lure (I like the smaller 6" one) for that reel to entice some tunas....

    Ehhh, not necessarily. Dark colors for low light conditions, lighter ones for midday (that can reflect sunlight).... I usually just get "match the hatch" colors (ones that look real)
    Blackfins did like the flying fish and sardine looking ones I have.

    Those lures can be stupid expensive, but if you shop around the web you can find deals...

    headed out this weekend for Cod and Ling. No SPJ gear, just a cooler filling meat hunt.

    Just heard from the Capt. of the Jamaica II. We'll be fishing in 150-250ft so looks like a trip to the Mudhole. Cod and Ling should be flying over the rails. I changed my mind about bringing an SPJ rod as the Blues have arrived. I changed out my SPJ jigs to a gold color to mimic the bunker they're chasing.

    I'd think you'd want speed jigs on a spinner for those yellow eyed piranahs?

    bluefins showing up at the mudhole yet? ;)

    Haven't heard anything yet. Hit a few Blues using SPJ gear last year. I'll pack a few speed jigs in gold/silver just in case the others don't work.

    You fish guys might be interested in taking a look at this Youtube clip. Same guy also has one from the day before taken a bit farther east.

    Great White Less than a Mile from Shinnecock Inlet- Southampton, NY - YouTube

    The back story: Humpback whale carcass found in Shinnecock Bay off Long Island - CBS New York (cbsnews.com)

    Two known trackable great whites are in the area, both in the nine foot range - Jekyll and Anne Bonny; you wonder how many more are around that are not being tracked: OCEARCH Shark Tracker

    The Ocearch site / guys are cool.... about ten years ago I had some friends that got to join them when they brought the ship to Jacksonville. The theory is the Whites follow the Right Whale migration in the winter time.... they hooked into one (but didn't land / tag it) that my buddy said would cause total panic given its proximity to the beach if the news was released. :eek:

    random: 2 weeks ago, I came in from surfing and there were lots of shells, so I looked down, and right at my feet, was a very intact fossilized GW tooth. Not a JAWS size one, but perfect condition with the serrated edgeds still intact :cool:

    Found another GW tooth this morning.... similar size but looks like it's been tumbling around the ocean for quite some time

    Local news says Jekyll is in the area of Quogue now, about five miles west of Shinnecock Inlet making him the prime suspect for the star of the video.

    TackleDirect has Stradics 30% off (not sure whats left) so I got a 3000 .... and I did NOT need another inshore reel. lol

    They have some 5000s that are tempting but I have a Quantum Boca 50 that I've only used a couple of times.
