1/2 oz spinnerbaits. Let sink to bottom and slowly retrieve.
Troll shad colored crankbaits through the mooring cans. Always retrieve your lure in the direction of the tide. Fish will position their noses into the tide, waiting for a meal to drift by. |

The learning curve is tough! Try different weedless baits. The eel grass is where the fish like to be.

I think there's a fine art to getting your swimbait to glide along the top of the eelgrass (close enough to tempt an ambush) without getting caught in the weeds.

next time venture out to the bell buoy , Sabiki up some mackerel and troll it heading north or south. There are frequently thresher sharks in that area and this time of year a shot at something more exotic (yellow/wsb). Goodluck!

Thanks for the advice all! On the dropshot I was using a live bait hook not a long-shank (per advice I got on using this setup for surf fishing, so not the same). I can see how the longer shank can get more hookups.
Appreciate the advise on tides and eel grass, makes sense. Also, I like the idea of heading out, dragging macks but that might just be me leaning into what I know. Thanks all! |
