Need advice!!!

Like Sirius - I arrive at the pier well armed and ready for any opportunity. I start as far south as I can go, but keep a constant watch over my shoulder. The wife usually stops somewhere between the bathrooms and the octi - so we cover more water. The best plan is to stay alert - watch what's going on - and be ready to move if necessary. I'm old - and wore out, I sling jigs and bubbles until it hurts - and then snobble or free line bait to give the shoulder a rest.
Nothing more relaxing than watching a rod tip in the skinny water.....

So...I have a snap swivel tied on every one of my rods...easy to switch. But I have a FLOUROCARBON leader on every rig. Gotcha's , looney's and plugs.

fishing for Spanish mackerel, which set up are you more successful with?

Gotachas, bubble rigs, looneys worked for me last few days. Yesterday they seemed picky and mainly hit green/chart straws.

It changes by day, all depends on where they are in the water column, if they are at the top, bubble rigs will wear them out, deeper then the gotchas and looney jigs come into play, and water clarity plays a part as well, just need to come prepared and figure out what they want on any given day
