PorknBeans (1/2/2010)Night fishing........7/0 circle hook, 30" of 60lb leader, 2oz egg weight above the leader and a surf rod will do. Just pass the line through the weight so that it can slide up and down the line...this lets the fish take the bait without feeling much resistance from the weight. catch a grunt, pinfish, or put a big chunk of cut mullet on (cut the tails off the grunts) and put that out there for bait. the Redfish cruise up and down the bridge so its not necessary to cast super far. I have actually had most luck casting under the main bridge...just make sure to get the bait past the last piling and into the light water from the road lights if you can. Have a net with you! i have caught reds anywhere from 26" to 46"........hope this helps:letsdrink

Cool, I'll give that a shot! Only running 30lb test. Figured that was enough for the reds?
Thanks

Ive caughtbull reds on less, just takes longer to get them in the boat and you gotta work that drag to keep em from breaking them off.
30 Pound test should be fine. Some will say use a heavy leader, but Ive never been broke off on 30 pound mono with no leader, though it does happen. Ive pulled them in on 12 and 10 pound test before. Just dont try to snatch them in the boat real quick or you might pull it out of their mouth, and have your dip net ready because you try to pull a big bull up out of the water by a hook and he is gonna fall off and make you go "doh"
Ask me how I know lol
