Make the short drive over to 3 mile and tear them up.

What rig have you been using?

karma · 10-18-2009, 04:18 PM

might want to look into getting a yearly pass ($20) to Ft. Pickens.. its easy to fish the deeper water and the reds are always moving throw the northern west point of the pensacola pass..

Then you can either use hand sized pinfish, jigs, or cut mullet for some success. Fish a Carolina rig with 1-3oz lead depending on current, swivel, then 20-50lb fluorocarbon, 1/0-3/0 circle hook.

LOL He said that he was tired of not catching fish, Ray. We need to get something decent at least 1 more time before we start advertising the guiding service :banghead

Youshould be using a carolina rig, and I assume you know what that is. live or fresh shrimp work well, or fresh white trout cut bait. If those arent available, try a live elwy or pinfish.

If you need advice specifically for Bob Sykes, I would listen Konz or Covertfisherman. They sure seem to spend a lot of time catching them out there. AND, they can show you how land land one of those nasty a$$ gar

Just a suggestion. But I would try out 20 or 30# powerpro.Expensive but you can put alot more line on your reel. That 560 can only hold about 240yds of 15#.
