| I guess two Sundays in a row of being skunked finally paid off. My buddy and I limited out on Spanish in short order and almost limited out on Blues. Lost all of my Gotchas, they were so tore up by the end of the day they weren't worth salvaging. Only bad part of the day was getting one of my Gotcha's run through my thumb by a frisky Spanish. First time that has ever happened to me, now I know why they call em Gotchas! It was a good warm up but I am waiting on the kings to show up! Pompano were hitting pretty good too but not as thick as the Spanish and Blues. I have never seen 5 or 6 Spanish hit my Gotcha at the same time, you would have thought they hadn't been fed in weeks. It was a good time.

We were on the P'cola pier. Pomps were hitting pretty good but not as thick as the Spanish or Blues. Several people caught some good sized pomps and I actually fished for some pomps for about an hour with two good bumps but no hook ups. After watching my buddy tear up the Spanish down the pier from me and me sitting there with no action, I chose to join him. I know the pomps taste better but the temptation to catch a lot of fish pulled me to the dark side

Good job Yeah I lost a bunch of Gotchas too and wore out a few steel leaders in the process, I've never seen them this thick before. It was awesome. I was using the new "electric chicken" gotcha (pink on top and yellow on the bottom) and like you was hooking up every cast. By the way, I tried 30# fluorocarbon leaders and ended up getting bit off a lot, switched to steel and had much better luck. I lost a few over the rail too but I didn't see that as a bad thing, saved me time having to unhook em on the pier, especially after we got our limit.

I spent saturday afternoon putting wire leaders on my lures, but I felt like the wire leader killed the action and they kept getting kinked up. I ended up clipping them and using #40 mono and I would change it out when I saw significant fraying.
