Really wish I knew how to resize pictures on here..

When you select your picture to post, before you copy the url, go down to the bottom of the list of url types and select a size from the box. I think I use very large thumbnail.  You can preview the post before you post it to check.

Ya.. I think I need to get on my laptop and check it out.. And thank you.. I've been on this mission for about a year and a half and just barely been able to put enough pieces of the puzzle together to get something on the sand..

 Well, keep at it. The more you go, the more you learn, and the more questions come to you.

Getting a tackle system that works for you, rigs, rod and reel, first is helpful. I took awhile to settle on what I have. Mostly by tweaking after failures. I'm pretty confident in my set up, but always open to try something if it makes sense to me.

Finding a spot that produces is good, at first I had one go to spot. Then it was weeded out and I had to try another. It worked too. Next I tried other areas that had similar conditions. They worked. I have just as many places that should work, but I haven't tried yet. This results in the whole where do I fish tonight problem, combined with the what if the hot bite is over there problem while you watch your rods just standing there.

Anyway, good luck.

Excellent!
Hmmm... Skipjack... I have a bunch that froze for bait and good to know it's been a hot bait as of late. I'll get your name on the Sharklist!

Right on boss!

Dang, that's what I call a shot gun post. One post with multiple sharks. I need to get a couple more sharks on the board to break into the 20's before the end of 2018. Time to get to work! ;)
