Try Sherbie (Sherbert)
Give him a PM, he has forgotten more about ballooning than I'll ever learn

If using brain make sure
If using brain make sure youve got a leader with a bit of give on the end - nylon/mono...what have you. Itll save gettig snapped off if u get a big hit. The only other tip i can give u in this area....make sure the wind is blowing offshore and not onshore :p
Good things come to those who bait.
