The fish at Harker's Island NC average 14-15 lbs, with many pushing 18-20. I was positioning the boat so we drifted parallel to the rip and was casting paralell and allowing the line to drift into the rip at about the same time the boat hit it. I think the 400 grain line is an advantage in these situations. Interestingly, both the albies were behind the rip. All the spanish Macks and blues were in front.
