Well I was waiting to see what everybody else was gonna say before I said anything. 230 plus fish in the last 10 days...I was out there twice durring that time period and we managed like 3 bulls, and I usually catch my share of reds. We didn't see any big schools or anything busting the top other than skipjack....all I can say is WOW apparently I don't know how to fish cause it has taken me all year to catch 200 reds. Anyway maybe I was using to light of tackle apparently to catch hundreds of reds you need huge braid.

| I don't think lil skeet ever said where he was fishing. It seems like everyone assumed he was fishing three mile. I don't understand the uproar his post caused. If you are into a lot of fish why not gear up so you can catch a bunch rather than fight one a long time. Same goes for catching big jacks in the bay. The fun is the blowup on your bait. The kind of tackle he is using would let you catch 10-15 a morning rather than fighting one for thirty minutes. If you were catching tarpon that would be different. You don't hook them too often so you would want to stretch the fight out.

"Why would you want to stretch the fight out?" Now I know I'm very new to fishing and I could be in the wrong, but I thought the fun of fishing was the fight? I guess didn't realize a long fight was a bad thing; I'll have to go to the store tomorrow and get some anchor line to fish with because apparently I've been doing it all wrong with my 12# line.
I've never been lucky enough to hook into a tarpon, but I think it would be much better to lose a tarpon after a long and fun fight than basically dragging a tired and beaten fish to the boat on a crazy thick line. I know its been said before in this tread but if this guy's goal is to catch 23 reds a day or whatever crazy numbers he was throwing out there, he should put the fishing pole down and invest in some dynamite; it would fit his "fishing" style better.

Compare it to a drug user that wants a higher high, only I am a fisherman that wants a bigger fish.

vs200b. Thank you. Reds are very hard to revive after a long fight.

| I have to agree with VS on this. I mean I love the fight as much as the next guy! I also love fishing with light line, but the shorter the fight the better for the fish. I say if the guy wants to fish with 80lb braid.......who cares. The man is cleaning house and I'm jealous! I've fished with many people before who use 80lb and up on their rigs, fishing for reds out of a boat.......yeah it's over kill but if it's the way the guy likes to fish......leave him to it. I'm not gonna do it but hey, that's my choice. Skeet, I'll fish with you any time......you use your tow rope j/k and I'll use my 15lb mono......I'm sure we will both have a heck of a time doing what everyone on this forum loves to do.......catching fish.

Sure it was a fun few minutes, better than no fun, and no fish! I fish 3 mile for reds also. Give you my side of tackle. I dont like the heavy lines either. I use 10lb power pro, sometimes with NO leader when I fish for reds at 3 mile. If I use a leader, it is always floricarbon 25-30 at the most. I slayed the reds a many nights in march and april, all 30-48 inches. Fish the lights as well. I use a light tackle rod, just gotta believe in your tackle (buy quility if at all possible) and use your drag. Very rarely do I lose a hooked fish due to breaking my line. But your are right, if I hook a tarpon I might get what your got, unless I have a 5-6 ft leader and a gppd trolling motor.
Tight lines, red fish = me happy

I guess I dont understand it either. I enjoy the fight just as much as the hunt. To each his own I guess. BUt those reds at the 3 mile should be used to being caught on 80lb line. When the bridge was there many of the regulars hooked big reds on what looked to be 80lb line with 2 drop rigs.

How about these that I know personally that they caught them on 10 lb power pro at 3 mile. I don't use braid personally, but I have fished with lighttackle2fun on numerous occasions and watched him catch plenty of bull reds on 10 lb power pro. Here are some pics that I have of reds they have caught off my boat with 10 lb braid.

Where are you guys fishing on three mile? Right up within ten feet of the bridge, or out a ways? Using dead bait? I might have to go out there myself.
