Good to finally meet you out in the water. By the way, the name is Kanaka (Hawaiian for Hawaiian). Your right about the action being better inside though a little more risky with the surf. After talking to you I ventured in shallower water and picked up several croaker all over 14inches. I caught the last one very close inside as I was kicking like a maniac to get to the shore before a big set could take me out. I was fortunate this time. Next time.........
