She was 12 lbs exactly. The New Penny 3" Gulp was the only thing that got hit all evening. That and the fact that it was the setup that had 6 lb fluoro. Makes a big difference using the lighter line. I fished 8lb on the other rods I got 1 short bite, thats it. Definetly convinced of using the lightest stuff possible in the bay. Considering hitting it again this evening once the gazillion sailboats go home. Probly 4:30ish to 7:30ish.
Fiance is out of town for baby shower, gotta get as much

as I can while shes gone, I hate chores

Nice. I think the 6lb. made all the difference. I fished the bay last week
with 8lb and only got a couple. Compared to the spectra and
fluoro I've been using at LJ, the 8lb. was soooo thin.

I've always been a fan of using the lightest tackle I can get away with, especially in the bay. I've got two 4# baitcasting setups, but usually use the 6#. Good job and thanks for the report!

i definitely agree i use a 4lb trout rod & 6 lb baitcaster set up w/the 4''penny shrimp but ill tell u the glow in the dark lead heads even increased my strike rate even more
