Duke, Save your TLDs for the reef. If you can get your hands on at least one 50 wide it will be worth it. I got dumped a few weeks back on a TLD 50 were we had to start the boat as fast as possible to get cranks back on the reel. You need to fish these guys like every fish is going to be a slob. Sure you might catch 100 pounders or you can get lucky like the guy who went out with only 2 rods and boated a 200 plus fish. Don't go out there prepared for small fish only, you'll get very depressed when that nice fish dumps that TLD 25 in about 15 seconds flat.
