We couldn't find squid bait(good fresh stuff)for the Horseshoe so we took a tank of hot sardines to the Southeast Bank and fished for rockfish at around 300 feet. I places two hot dines on a setup with a 16 ounce sinker and dropped it into a cloud of life on the depth finder. We caught some real super groupers to 10 pounds. I have fished the Southeast Bank since the years right after WWll and I have never encountered "slimeys" of this quality on the Bank. The small fish constantly bounce the rod but the big ones bend the rod double and the rod stays bent. <br><br>George Van Zant<br><A HREF="http:// www.bigfishtackle.com/georgescorner.htm " target="_new">http:// www.bigfishtackle.com/georgescorner.htm </A><br>
