Light Tackle Fishing
By: Capt. Hap Farrell
A few days ago I took my mate Pete, a fill in mate Mark, and Connie Delano, who mated for me my first years in business, fishing up by P-town. My first year was twenty something years ago to be polite. Anyway, we only used really light gear.
We jigged, by hand, with these really light action rods using 30 lb, test wire for a while taking some bass up to 40 inches. We were right at the corner at Wood End on the edge. Then we moved up to just outside the traps and tubed. Here I used 18 lb. test leadcore on very light action rods. Fishing with 4 colors out we'd hook up and watch 4 more colors peal out. Some of these fish were over 40 inches. To say the least it was a fun time.
All of this tackle was designed at the Goose Hummock in Orleans, with the help of Fran and Garrette.
