.pretty slow...but the day was nice, until the thunder bumpers rolled
in
a half hour ago. Just made it in before a local deluge, which helped
wash down the boat.

Buddy with me caught a huge skate and some croakers, while I settled
for
some small to middlin' blues...but they were fun on my ultralight
tackle. We were using live minnows, squid strips and pieces of soft
shell crab. Nice sized minnows we caught in about 15 minutes at the
marina.

The flounder bite is on but not today.

How's that new Penn Slammer been?

It's very smooth, but...I cannot really see a lot of difference between
it and a similar sized SS...well, the drag is a bit smoother, I think.
Good reel.


Infinite anti-reverse. I've been looking at getting a 560 to replace my
7500SS. The spool size on each is almost the same, but the 560 is lighter
and has infinite anti-reverse...which helps with hookset when doing a jig
and retrieve and the fish hits just before you reel in the slack. Happened
to me on a cobia, and I almost lost the fish. Thankfully, Cobia are
aggressive fish and hit the jig again even after I jerked it out of his
mouth.
