Hey ice what about a St. Croix TS70MHF Inshore for schoolies? Pair that with a Shimano Stradic 4000 and you have a killer schoolie combo!!!!!!!!! The rod handles from 1/2 to 1 1/2oz 10 to 20lb line 7ft with a fast action MH.

What do you think?

That combo I metioned above would be perfect IMO lets see what others come up with as well but the St. Croix Inshore TS70MHF paired with a Shimano Stradic 4000 can't be beat for the price!

BAMMM!!!! to Bloo "Emirill" Crab... Cross - checked LMAO...

Ice - yer scaring me with yer hockey, you playing with these guys or dreamin' about it? That's what Liam is going to play when he's older - hockey

I know what you mean about Gwenyth being the best V-Day gift you could ever get your wife. Liam was the same for TheBetterHalf last year but this year I gotts ta produce ... Wait until she's a few months older, even more fun and less outright fear that you'll drop her on her head or something...

GB - It's not that the Penns are out of favor these days. It's more that they aren't the only affordable game in town anymore. They also have not exactly been at the forefront of the technological advancement of the reel in recent years. But they do work and most of the models are pretty solid...

New Haven, that's like 20 minutes from the famous Leetes Islands, right? Sorry, I'll take Cuttyhunk

Ice if you are looking for a real light rig and some great fun try the one I bought last year at Bucos it a ST.CROIX 7' lite power mod-fast action scII graphite BEN DOERR SURF SYSTEM/ss70L and I put a Shimano 4000fg on it. This rig is so light you feel like your not holding a rod and reel at all. Great for schoolies and (small blues).See John I do have some reels other than Penns also the 5000fg on a 8' BEN DOERR SURF

That was the best duck hunting spot on the east coast 30 years ago you would have to duck ha ha ha and get out of the way as the flock would come down from up north. I spent alot of nights trying to get my waders dried out in time for the next morn. hunt back then.

Red you are right on the money and with the gps on the boat its not to hard to be right on the spot. I picked up Maptech's cd with Buzzards Bay, Cape cod's south shore and the Islands NOAA charts and coastal photos and maps. I pulled out all the old hot spots I use to fish and put the long/lad into my gps and can't wait to get out there and try it out. Are you up for some fishing in the boat just around the corner from gooseberry at the pond opening???
