Sorry for the late reply's...I just got home from a looooong day kayaking in Montauk. I left at 2AM yesterday for a full day of kayaking around the point. Only one short striper and about 20 big bluefish, 5 porgies, 10 small sea bass a few short fluke, and a few sea robins.

The other spinner bait in the pike looked very clean, so I am thinking within the last week or so. But the lost spinner bait had a 12" wire leader attached, and the line looked to be about 8 lb. test. I can't see why you would use wire leader with a spinner bait and I NEVER use aything less than 15lb.test. With all the structure in the river, I always want a heavy enough line to pull the fish out.
