Thread: Keychain Spanish

Im planning on being out on the pier tomorrow and am going to try for some spanish. For the few that have been caught does anyone know what they were caught on?

My choices would be Gotchas (red head/white) Looney or bucktail jigs (white for me) or bubble rigs w/pink or yellow tubes. I prefer jigs myself, and don't be afraid to throw smaller lures and/or eliminate the swivels if you're getting cut off. I use 8-10lb mono tied direct to 20-25lb Fluorocarbon, approx. 15" leader.

By far, the most caught yesterday were on a large sabiki. Prepare for cutoffs.

When the water warms up, Bomber saltwater grade 1/4oz or 3/8 pompano jig. Back in the fall spanish were preferring those over the gazillions if gotchas being thrown at them.

Bubble rig with a white crappie jig -- fish are looking for a meal, not a deathmatch with something their own size.
