Gear that heavy is used to ensure that the fish has a better than good
chance to get in the boat. It's all about word of mouth advertising and
repeat customers. Some of the better captains have moved to Virginia
Beach for the spring and summer and in the fall they follow the fish
down to Florida.

That's a good point.

I preferred to give clients a quality all-round experience. As a
rule, I never had complaints and 90% retention rate for clients when I
was really active in the business.

You'd be surprised at how successful a trip can be without having a
stellar day fishing. I loved to get the clients involved in the whole
process - even to the point of letting them have a turn at the wheel
when conditions warranted.

Show 'em how to do stuff, different ways of rigging, sea stories (my
Mako story was a favorite told many times) - I looked at it as a total
experience, not just catching fish.


Yeah, but sometimes you are not that chatty... We are going to have
to go down and show Harry what light tackle is all about



I only use light tackle in the bay. My favorite rig, if there is no
wind, is a little, soft 5' Ugly Stick with a Penn 4200 spinning reel and
8# test line. You really don't need much more than that to catch Bay
fish. If blues are around, a light metal leader will take care of that
problem.
