Hit the beach this morning after a long absence. Stopped at around the 3 after spotting some skipjacks/mullet. After scoring some bait decided to just stay and save the gas. Cut skipjack yielded Jacks and mullet were terrorized by blues. Talked to a guy who said he got redfish, but I never could get through the packs of blues. Water clarity was 8/10 and weed was coming in, but not enough to foul the lines.
Set free to fight another day.
Found this and after a little research learned that it's a "Sea Heart."

I've been catching them on live mullet, first gut. Sometimes you can see them in the breakers. Big silver spoon. |

It's usually just a matter of driving the beach until you find them feeding on top. At that point you can pretty much throw any lure like a topdog or like zia said a spoon and they'll eat it. If you know they are in the area but not feeding on top just take a head section of a large whiting/skipjack/mullet and set it on bottom. I'm sure others more qualified will chime in, but that's how I do it. |
