Cast out the pole tied to a spark plug, as real weight were too expensive. We were almost guarantee to lose the weight with every cast, so we go to our local auto repair shop and take their old plugs. within the rocks, a line tied to a can would almost always get us a Sculpin on squid. One time that SOB got me on my arm and I had a fooked up night. Good times.
Sorry Vash, have not seen anything like it but my neighbor is from the banana country and he told me stories about taking long poles to go fishing when he was a kid in the 50 in the jungle in South America

We also hiked out on the breakwater... at night... caught a horned shark once... scared the poop out of me. It was quite an experience to be near the light house when the fog horn went off!
But we were closer to Point Ferman and could ride our bikes down to Royal Palms/Whites Point and did most of our fishing there.
And yes, we would see a lot of rusty old spark plugs washed up on the beach.
