Just my dos centavos...

Forget about spectra, concentrate on what will get you bit.

Take a couple outfits each, 20#, 30#, and maybe 50#...

If they are hammering anything, go with the big boys. If they are line shy, you may have to go down to 20#, may lose some, but at least you're getting bit.

Get a nice assortment of hooks, and a pole that you can cast the bait further than anyone else. If your bait doesn't get hit right away, grab another, there's plenty.

Grab the bait that is hardest to catch, handle him gently, no red marks on his face...

And remember, it's not about you catching, it's about him catching.

Let us know how you do and Good Luck...

PS...I have a smoker...
