Sometimes fishing can be cruel, when skipped one step of your game plan thats when they strike, but when everything your doing is according to your plan, right tackle, right leader/line, they wont come, I was fishing for striper at San Luis Obispo (2002), I've run out of bait lot of dink nibbling, I found a dead lizard near where I was fishing, ohh what the heck, I'll use my smaller rod "trout set up" smaller hook, put a bell and decided to take a nap, "cling" "cling" "cling", nice one on, guess what happened my tackle couldn't handle it x( , Laguna 1000 on a 4lbs test no heavy leader, then couldn't find anymore dead lizzard :+ went back to the campsite with regret... since then I stick to my plan..
