Welcome to CDC! Before I moved out of California, I was a big...uh decent size game angler after the likes of striped bass, catfish, and coastal surf species with willing grab chunks of anchovies...lol. Out here in Vegas, I scaled way down in tackle sizes due to only a few man-made ponds available with mostly warm water species with occasional winter trout stocks. Before CDC converted me into a UL junkie, I do sometimes throw sponge spider with fly rod for whatever bites. Cheers!
