Friend of mine hits me up at 7am to tube NPH in the AM. Sends pics of what he's caught so far. I dont see the text til 11am (DOH!).
His catches:

I head out and am in the water by 130ish. Went fishing docks as we drifted with the current for no luck. I push out a bit and decide to troll a 3 inch Hammer in halloween color with a red lead head. BOOM! Sand bass on! I get it to the tube and, like an idiot, I pull it up by the line instead of using my net. Sure enough it snaps the line. Fish and lure gone. Looked to be a 1.5 #'er. No pics, obviously.

Continue to drift past the ferry and work the structure to no avail. Tried an anchovie colored rapala x-rap and a blue shad Hammer on a chartruse jig head for nothing. Swapped out to a christmas MC on a red jig head and get a dink in the pic below.

All in all a fun day.

10 flouro. I figured the teeth gnawed through the line as he was head shaking. He was closer to 2 # now that I think of it.

Congrats! Yeah nph is a great place to start your salt water Tubin career. That was my cherry popper too. As long as you don't head out towards the bait barge the currents aren't too bad.

Nice fishing. I have been using 10-15# fluorocarbon as my fly fishing leader in the harbor and surf. Some time get bit off with halibut if using the lighter stuff and I'm lazy and forget to use the net. Most times it's the teeth that gets ya.
