Remember to gear up appropriately to land a 30#+ fish that jumps and screams drag! I'd go medium heavy gear and braided line with maybe a florocarbon leader to be safe. Yes, you'll have to scatter just a little food, cast out in the middle of the pellets and be patient. Folks on the forum say if you hook one, you'd better land them, as they'll learn to never hit pellets again if you lose them. So...use sharp, strong hooks and reliable, stout tackle and hang on! Stubby steves will work, as will a pellet wrapped in pantyhose and clipped/tied off at the top.

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
