This is all I really have to show for today. I caught lots of small bluefish early on and one decent Spanish mackerel on gotcha plugs but the bite quickly died and I had to scrounge and conserve bait. I missed one potential cobia to a crimp failing on a leader I bought. The stingrays and sharks got thick around 5 ish. I hooked and battled two big stingrays. The first which was easily twice the

      I would if I had a kayak to take it out with. For now I need to use setups I can cast a long way from the pier and beach @Jimmy_Lynch

      @seaturtles penn senator combos aren't too expensive to find. Get yourself a 6/0 or 9/0 and spool it up and get after them

      @Jimmy_Lynch mines an Abu Garcia ambassador 7000 with 20lb mono mainline on an offshore angler ocean master 12ft heaver

      @Jimmy_Lynch maybe once I get a saltwater kayak and a big senator reel I'll try Ray but until then j got to go with bait I can cast.

      @pondking I believe it. Last year I hooked a ray pushing well over 100lbs but I couldn't get it up the 30ft water column with only 20lb test. The one yesterday ...more was probably about 80 it wasn't small

      @tampafish actually the Chesapeake bay has the best cobia fishing in the world during the summer. They go as far north as New Jersey. I only recently got into saltwater ...more and no I have yet to land one

      Stingray put up crazy fights I caught a 80 pounder on a charter a month ago and it was the hardest and longest fight I have ever had by a mile it was an exaughsting ...more 45 minute fight but it was a blast

      88 air temp, water dirty and turbulent, 2-4 foot swells, water temp 82, very little baitfish at all, few working birds, slow and frustrating day, hoping to beat ...more the bad lack saltwater streak soon.

      Line failure toward the rig. I went home a bit frustrated but at the very least I was able to sell this stingray for $15 to some lady that likes them so my ticket ...more more then paid for itself.

      Size of this one broke the line when I was passing my rod to someone to help me get around another pole. The other was this decent guy. I also had two sharks bite ...more me off and two more brake me off due
