Not shure what the west coasters call sheepshead, so i got no idea how tough they be. The 'sheepshead' here on the east are dressed in prison stripes; black and white at 5->10 lbs. They are hard runners but they have tough enough skin that a 3" breakaway tip doesn't pull through.
One day i shall return to the west to spearfish and get one of yous californians ta gimme a tour o the kelp beds. The First time i saw the ocean was as a toddler on the n cal coast near eureka and OR. Now i miss it soo bad cause it always smelled so clean and the water was headache cold in the middle of a bright day.
