You will need a reel that holds approx 275 yds of 15 to 20 lb mono. Use a 12 inch 27# single strand leader with a small black barrel swivel to attach your line to and a 3x strong #1 treble hook. Use frozen cigar minnows for bait. Hook the cigar minnow between the eyes straigt down thru the top of the head. Cast it out and let it drift, with and occasional couple jerks(called snobble) every now and then. While it is drifting it is best to open the bail and use you finger to hold the line (but don't put the line in the crease of your finger OUCH) when the fish hits it will pull the line from your finger and it will free spool. Let him run for 3 or 4 seconds, close the bail and a nice little hook set is all it takes. Drag should be set at about 5 lbs.

Hope this helps
