I think W was banned for selling refurb. Shimano reels to Salty

What happened to them?

I think things got heated over W's small stature and Napoleon Complex.

I have caught some big Sand Trout like that fishing out of Empire in 150 ft. of water.
They were all big. Caught one this past summer out of Grand Isle too.

How deep were they?

About 150 ft.

Hahaha I didn't know if you meant they were down 150 or the rig was in 150

:*****:

I was on a boat, in 150 ft. of water. Fishing on the bottom.

When I was a kid we used to get out to the Magnolia's (17 miles offshore) about February-March and absolutely Hammer the sand trout. Drop heavy jigs and get to spankin em. Bluefish would cut them in two on the way up, but it didn't matter there were so many. They have awesome meat, it gets mushy when warm though. Got to keep em cold.
