Everything was as simple as possible, main line to small swivel and half ounce egg sinker, another 15 inches of 10 # braid (the snapper or maybe reds broke a few 10 # mono leaders) and a #2 owner red bait hook and a little pinfish. I cant wait to go tear em up again tues. or for sire sat afternoon.

Heres my trick...The snapper bite goes tap..tap...tap tap...tap.... Instead of trying to set the hook on a tap I started opening the spool and holding the line in my fingers. Dont mind the taps at all, just make sure your baits hooked solid and wait for the line to slowly creep threw your fingers, give 2 or 3 feet after the taps when he finally takes it ....close the bail, crank down, then set the hook. wham, snapper. :letsparty

- ohh, and that was the little pier on the south side of the bay bridge in GB, but as i said before, im sure the tasty little snappers are all over any structure in that area.
