Rancho Leonero again! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I love my Shimano TLD 15 but anything with a leverdrag would do. The shimano is cheap, light, and has lasted me a long time with normal maintenance. With a bigger and/or more energetic bait, once the bait is fully out, take the reel out of free spool and put the clicker on. Then back off the drag until the bait begins to take line (usually just out of free spool). The nice thing about the leverdrag is that you can "set it and forget it" with your drag, just put it in gear and go when a fish strikes.

BTW...Is it rude to ask what the vacation details are, mainly prices? Did you get a deal through anyone? My pops has been to Leonero twice...caught it good once and caught it bad once (post-hurricane). Its always been on my agenda. Thanks in advance
