Thanks. The guys at urban angler sold me the 300 grain I think with the expectation that I would be using it from the boat. Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to try it yet do to the water, but I assume it will work great when I do. Unfortunately, it does not seem well suited for fishing from the shore unless I am doing something completely wrong.. Looks like I may have to get another line, something I really didn't want to do. As an alternative, I do have a switch rod that I have always used with sinking polyleaders when swinging flies for steelhead. I know the consensus is that you have to be really deep, but does anyone think I could get down enough with the switch rod and an extra fast sink polyleader?

I have never used a fly rod from shore but since you are using an 8wgt maybe try a line with a sink tip instead of a full sinking line. You would havolyr a hard time throwing a lighter full sinking line with your current rod.
