Super User Jigfishn10 Posted July 17, 2021 Super User Posted July 17, 2021 This happened about 15 miles south of me yesterday. https://www.necn.com/news/local/shark-spotted-feeding-on-whale-carcass-off-maine-coast/2506450/ Waters have been warm lately. Usually they don’t come that closed to shore up here. Quote

I usually go with a 20lb braid, but I use an UL rod to add a little excitement to the situation. Whales are kind of like walleye when it comes to reeling them in, not much fight and kind of like just pulling dead weight. ? Quote

How many lbs or drag should I use? Do I need to go to golds gym and use their weights to set it ? Quote

Not sure but for bait I like to use surfers. Paddling Out is the best presentation, that action really fires 'em up. And the strike is so crazy! 1 Quote
