9-9-05 submission

With all these posts recently and an ankle surgery looming in my near future (3 days), I decided to try something different this time since most of the big tails have been caught way out. Being my 10th trip all year ( :cry: ) I am not in great yaking shape and was looking for a shortcut to the usual spot. Jimi and I launched from Marine street at 5:30 to some small beach breakers until we decided to launch . We had a set roll in through the darkness that almost killed us. Anyway, we made it out alright and had no problem making bait but a problem keeping our electronics working correctly. We got hit a few times on greenies early but nothing stuck. 8:30 rolls around and i decided to get an arm workout throwing the iron around. Sure enough a nice boil comes out of he kelp and nail the tady 45. She hung in the kelp for 5 or so minutes, nothing some 25# cuda couldnt handle. Which reminds me... I have been reading lots of testimonials on spectra line (which i have on my live bait reels), but would put Cuda line right up there with it! Any agree? I had some 20# cuda last year when i fished Vallarta and it handled a 65# rooster with ease. Anyway, the tail came in @ 12#. Little but mighty! Hopefully I can get back on the water before the season dry's!
