Earth to Prouboy.........earth to prouboy...... Did you already buy your yellow line? Yikes......take it back and fast. No "here I am" line allowed while fishing backcountry or near shore. Yellow line is fine when your trying to keep track of offshore trolling spreads but the kiss of death otherwise. Heres the deal.......get some 30lb green power pro and add a 30lb floro leader of some 2 or 3ft. You need fingerless gloves and plenty of practice to get mono and braid to stick......but if you want to catch 'em that is the accepted method. If the snook are running big then 40lb is the ticket and if big trout are your game then 20 or even 15 is the way to go (I have caught plenty of big trout on 6lb mono before I learned you can't catch them on line that light ). No yellow line on my boat.......no white T shirts......and no more than 2 consecutive bad words uttered when the line breaks up underneath the mangroves ......."I know it all happened very fast, when you stop shaking you can tie on another hook" ;D

Damn MT, that's EXACTLY why you needed to meet me on day one of y stay down here, and keep me on the straight and narrow!  By the time you come over for a day of chasing reds, (you ARE coming, right??), I'll have green braided line and camo clothing!  But a little rock music coming from the stereo onboard is okay, isn't it?
