Well, thanks for the input. I think I will try a full floater over labor day, when I am at the beach. Sunset Beach in southern NC, if anyone else goes down that way. I may try to fish off of a jetty that is very broad based (lots of rocks under the surface) and has a tendency to try and eat you line. I think a floater will survive longer.

I will give a report if I have any success.
