Other notes: Mostly flats fishing during our trips. Casting at the surf can yield GT and other pelagic but it can be hazardous so caution is advised. There will be times when in the motherboat, fish will show up such as in the evening/night and you can also attempt to cast at them (fast sinking line may com in handy). Some in the group with conventional gear will also be jigging and casting from the boat.
