I completely agree with you that the heavy leaders might have thrown them off. I've been having a blast down there of late with a little 0 weight rod I bought online matched with a beautiful little Orvis 2-weight reel (Dan mentioned they'd been discontinued but I LOVE it) and 6x leader. It's tough to toss flies bigger than a popper or epoxy minnow but the bass don't seem to get as spooked.

First time at 4mile. 8wt was maybe a bit optimistic, but the heavy leader was way overboard. Had refusals and near misses.. Blaming the leader, or maybe the red clouser, maybe too big of flies, maybe the strip, maybe something else. Got a couple bass so overall a good day. All the action was during the tide change. The bridge area was crowded with baiters so worked up the south bank. Cheers to the TPFR dude I met in the parking lot.
