[/quote] good luck on a speck eating a gulp out there.. I would suggest 4# test, the smallest treble you can find, and a live bait.. and a LOT of patients. It pays off but the specks wont really be in the surf 'till mayish I belive

+1

I was really wanting to avoid using shrimp since the pinfish and ladyfish seem to destroy them befor the specs can get to them.

Who said anything about shrimp

So if not a live shrimp then a live LY? bull minnow? fill in the blank

Hint: Peaches guides--$$ oke1:

The saltwater part of that chart is what you need. The "trout" part is probably for freshwater trout (given hook and bait sizes). However, as you can see the rigging difference is minimal.
