Heading down there this weekend I hope the weather holds up

[@louisraatz5049]

Hopefully it will. I plan on fishing Saturday with my daughter. At least that's the plan. Thanks for the comment. Tight lines Louie

Why do you work your thumb side to side when reeling in?? Doesn't it wind up correctly by itself?

[@louisraatz5049]

The reels I have don't have a levelwind that's why I have to use my thumb. The levelwind mechanism can affect casting distance. Thanks for the comment. Tight lines Louie

I was out there Friday and Saturday around 15MM the seaweed was horrible! Looks like it’s cleared out.

[@louisraatz5049]

Thanks for the comment thanks for watching. That seems logical. I've seen a fair amount of migrants on the beach over the years. Tight lines Louie.
