WOW!! I never expected so many responses and generosity in sharing all the helpful info. The two points I had forgotten are go deep, let the jig fall to the bottom and be willing to pilot("drive" a car; "pilot" a boat) your boat many miles WEST of the Pass along the beach. That theme has been repeated in previous years. I often get discouraged after a few miles, so next time I will go farther and hit the Mother Lode, I hope.



Also, binoculars, which I hate but really should use as suggested. Larger ones with a high(like 50) second number are recommended by me.......e.g. 8 x 50 means 8 times enlarged and "50" illumination. You need the illumination to be user friendly. Too much enlargement, like 10 or 12 makes the view jiggle so much it is unpleasant. I like the 8 x 50 or even 6 x 50. One should be able to buy a pair at Academy Sports for as low as $30-35.

Again, all comments were helpful and thanks.
