Great report and haul Jlai92!!!
The smack attack was on then! I am sure you will be ready for them next time!!
Are you going to use a wire leader next time you go out for prevention??

Re: Warning about the surf in gaveston
not sure, will it affect the topwaters movement ? cause the wire leaders dont seem to flex enough to keep it natural... but if they show up again. silver spoon and wire leader for sureEarth's End Kayaker wrote:Great report and haul Jlai92!!!

WTG. Very nice
Re: Warning about the surf in gaveston
Try this bubble rig, it's a lot cheaper and the Spanish mackerel can't resist them.
