i fished long twice this year. did good each time. biggest was a nice male 5 1/2lbs. used to fish where you guys fished but like jdk said was mobbed at the beg. of the season. where i fish now no one fishes there and we do as good if not better than we did where you guys were and no one around. not even any old auger holes! thats tough to find on long! usually the fishing stinks there in mar. glad to see you guys got into them.
