Hey Wade,

I'll probably be out there Sat and/or Sun, too (have school Mon evening, so swimbait you're on your own). We should hook up.

Wade's right about 15-20lb being the best range. The best stuff is 15# P-Line CXX, but it's too expensive for the amount I burn through. I normally throw 15 or 20 lb Big Game. 15# casts better and doesn't get thrown about by the waves, but I feel more secure with 20# because I backlash so much.

The stripers will eat anything you put in their face. Mickeys are only popular because they cast so good. I'm sure whatever you have will work. Mickeys have good swimming action on a straight retrieve, but when the fishing isn't wide open they can respond better if you pop the jig up and down. They'll hit it on the flutter. You almost always are going to be throwing straight into a good headwind so whatever you got has to cast good.

Nico (off to some Los Banos night fishing :) )
