I mentioned previously about the time that I spent down at G and J st fishing the piers as a kid. Every now and then, one of us would have a rod ripped right off the pier and it wouldn't even hit the water for a good 15 or 20 feet. My buddy and I would look at each other like the loch-ness monster just went by. We started loosening the drag, and we'd get to keep our fishing poles but the second you set the hook you would get busted off or spooled. I've seen it happen a half-dozen times and we always assumed it was a big shark or ray. I suppose you could take a 4/0 out there with 50#, but then you're really getting looks from people. Heck it's only 15 ft at the deepest spot around there. It's cool stuff though when you are a kid, really gets the imagination excited about fishing bigger water.

Those big spotfin are always a cool catch. I have'nt heard of anyone catching a jack cravelle in a long time. The last one I caught was over 20 years ago. A friend caught one a while back but that was when the power plant was still in operation. Without the warm water discharge, I kinda doubt that they are still back there. Hope I'm wrong though. Those things pulled really hard.

I've been in love with spotfin croakers ever since I got my monster spotfin way back in 2004.

Maybe I'll lay off the tubing for a while, if there's hammies like that in there. Definitely piques my interest, and I plan to do a lot of exploring in the newly opened salt pond at the south end, near where I've hooked the majority of sharks and rays I've caught in south bay. I've caught a few healthy juvenile (up to 22") WSB down there also.

Spot fins are awesome. Since they swim in schools a lot of times you can get quite a few in a row. One of the few non-bass I like to catch.
