new guy

hello y'all

i am loving this site. Haven't found anything to add yet and by searching i have found answers to most all my questions i have come across my mind.

I have been visiting that pier since i wasn't tall enough to see above the middle rail dang near! As it happens it wasn't until this past year that i managed to figure out some of the tricks and such to actually catch fish other than those catfish and remora... Y'all have a great site and lots of information on here that i am soaking up! I hope to make it down at least once or twice this spring/summer to put all that i have learned to use!

I didn't see a set newbie welcome spot so I figured this place would be a good welcome spot and ask this DIY question...

What is a good size/weight for a gaff and any tips on what to use? Any restrictions on them either?

Thanks in advance and look forward to coming down (from north MS) and fishing again soon!

yeah thought i was in the DIY section oops haha

welcome aboard a few posts and youll be addicted! check out ironman for gaffs. he has pictures and info in the do it yourself. send me a PM when you come down so we can fish together. tight lines!!
