Rigs were 4/0 pulley pennels
First 2 hours of the flood
Mackeral
Wind was WSW
Arrived to the mark at low water and every cast was thornback bites. Slack lines. Missed 5 or 6 takes but I hooked into 4 (3 of these were not slack lines). One was big and a serious scrap, the bite bent the rod right over id imagine between 6 to 7 lbs but I dunno really.
When the thornback is swimming in towards you do you wait till he stops swimming to strike or just try and tighten the line and strike?
Thanks for the help.
