I've fished Seacliff and would be interested in going again sometime. I've used 15# clear Trilene XL (or it might have been 14#) with some success on flattys to 22#s in that area. Keep in mind that you don't need to be out at the end for 'buts. Try 2 pillings past where the waves start to "make" (a little outside the sand cloud area). Are they going to have any live bait on the pier this year?

Tight lines,
Wade
