Those weights, I know people very successfully fish them from party boats. I see it done all the time by a couple sharpies who can catch a limit in a bathtub. I just don't know how they do it. I never get to fish less than 3oz when I go on a party boat. Either the drift is too fast, I'm on the wrong side of the drift, etc. I may pick up a much lighter combo with 10pound braid JUST to try and learn, but for me when I try to cast lighter "most" times outside of the bays I end up scoping out too much line to hold bottom.
