Their bites change from day to day and patience is a virtue in this great fishery. Finesse and a simple clean rig without the bells and whistles is a must. A good rod goes a long way here for you must feel his down right back stabbing sneaky bit. A pro at stealing bait passed down through the generations. The big boys didn't get that big by accident.
Luck goes just so far.
Lorry Mangan, in my opinion, has their number. Al Goldberg's custom rods were really put to the test on Friday. I have a cigar in my car which won't be lit until I get that 10 pounder. Anyway, we were on the Nancy Ann going to a spot that Al told me had some real brutes. Small dogs if you get my drift.
