I've got an OTI 7 footer, paired with a Twinspin and 65 pound braid that is gonna put a hurt on those bastards.

I've been spooled several times by big jacks while fishing the jetties for trout/reds with an Garcia/Amb 6000 ....

Speaking of strong inshore fish i have an appointment to kill a tripletail in matagorda with Lee Warmke on June 12th. I think im going to use my OTI 7ft/Stella 8k (or smaller stella) as well. HalfBreed FishingwithLee.com

LEXPRO: I too want to fish for tripletail, having never caught one (and I have heard they are excellent table fare.) When I retire to the coast that is going to be one of my first projects. Having played with both the Stella 8K and the 5K, I think the latter would be up to the job. From my reading, I picture the fish as kind of like an undersized grouper--powerful but no long runs--that you fish for like you would ling, around pipes, piers, and buoys--and I have one of my 5K spools lined with 40 pound braid and the other with 30, which I think would do the trick. Let us know how it goes.

I'll try to get there around 7 - 7:30 PM. I have to be at work at 6 AM Saturday morning so I'll prolly be gone by 9:30 - 10:00 PM.

Anyone else? Nate? Tom?

Hmmmmm .... and maybe not. That's a long drive for me. And I hate to be the only one at a party....

Too early too tell yet. I might make it, depends on how bad they treat me at work on Friday.

I hear ya Tom .... They're wanting me to come in to work today on my day off.

I'm gonna try to be there around 7 PM. If I'm not then I probably had to go to work.

Pshoooey! As windy as it is out there Bret may start a little earlier. Like about noon....
