I fished today for a little more than 3 hours at the South Packery Jetty. It was very windy and quite rough on the surf side. Seaweed was present, but very fishable. I fished the channel side and first tried live shrimp on bottom and could manage nothing but Hardheads and Gafftops. I then switched to a lemon rig and caught two Snook, 14" & 17" (released), one 24" Black Drum, one 23" Redfish and several undersized Reds.

Any chance you could post a photo of the lemon rig set up? I'm still kinda clueless how to cast them despite doin a little research

Casting these isn't difficult compared to casting a traditional bobber/float while trying to fish 10'+ deep. Since these are rigged using a three-way swivel with two drops the length of your leader is cut in half. I keep a little slack in my line to allow it to sink to depth. I prefer to use about 40lb mono leader material. One drop is just your hook of choice with a few split shots and the other drop goes straight to the lemon juice bottle. Both drops are usually equal length. I tie the bottle drop to a bead after I run the mono through a small hole in the top that's shown in the picture. I fill the bottle a little less than half with water. Depending on the length you make your drops your rod length can help in casting these as well.

I just go to the street in front of my house and add some pea gravel in my lemons. Rattle + cheap weight = winnning.
