Headed out with my friend on board James Joseph this morning. We steamed east and stayed in that area the whole day. I started off slow with some shorts and Sea Robin's. Ended the day with 1 keeper and around 8-10 shorts. The boat had a decent amount of keepers as well. I caught it on my model 0 Palmarius. What a nice rod! I was able to fish and hold bottom with 1/2 oz bucktail the whole trip with that rod. Keepr was taken on an olive green teaser from Harvey, tipped with spearing and squid.

Yes, that Palmarius 0 is a great rod! I use it with a 1 oz bucktail and teaser in the bay.

Nice going, Matt. Nothing better than breaking in a new rod with a nice fish for dinner. I still can't believe I resisted the huge temptation to buy myself one of those rods this past March at the NJ Expo.

Have to start filling the "piggy bank" and reconsider next year!

If my work schedule ever aligns with your Fluke openings, I will defiantly bring it for you to try. I have it paired with a TranX 150. Very light.
