I went for the 1st time Tuesday went out thru the new short cut.. seals lined up eating sand eels as the tide pushed them by. hit the fleet everyone was fishing dimond jigs ,and not very productive for the amount of lines in the water . moved a bit closer to the pot line and watched the wire guys for a bit . I said in an early post , I was surprised they have electric reels, I would think that would be not allowed its almost to effecent

it was a site it see not sure I'll do it again it was far from an epic day of fishing

Once you fish electric reels you will never want to snap wire without them again. As far as being sporting you have to remember that this is a commercial fishery. It is just a tool that makes the job more efficient.
