Nunavut = Arctic Char, Greenland Cod, Sculpin species, hiking 15k in a glacial fjord to the Arctic Circle at Auyuittuq National Park and see the world's highest natural vertical drop (Mount Thor) = epic!
Sigh, maybe next year... It really depends on the current. Using braid helps to reduce drag on your line (imagine the amount of drag on the 30lb mono over 100+ feet of water) and increase sensitivity (so you can determine when you weight is hitting bottom or on bottom). If the current is strong (as in the day you fished), you may need more than 10oz to keep your line straight. Also, it helps to constant watch how your line drifts. If you notice that is it not very vertical, it's best to reel in and start a new drop. Go on YouTube and search for "poke pole" videos Yeah, you totally miss out on the BIG Bat Ray! Next time I want to be back in California and fish the jetty you fished...I want to fish it for at least 2 days. It sounds like an awesome spot for some crazy amount of SPECIES!!! Malama o ke kai Caution - Objects in picture are smaller than they appear. I am genetically predisposed to make fish look bigger.
