Fairly new at pomp fishing, are jigs that much better than set rigs loaded with fleas or is it just taboo to use set rigs on the pier? Just wondering?

Austin

Most everyone uses jigs on the pier, including myself. If its a rough day and not many folks around, I will put out a flea on a carolina rig (set rig) and throw a jig as well. But if theres a crowd around the pomp hole, stick to the jig. Its not cool to get someones fish wrapped around your line:nonono

Ive never jigged for pomps. What is the best retrieve using one? Slowly bouncing it on the bottom?

Austin

Most people sight cast to them, but blind casting works too. Cast it out, let it sink. Retrieve along the bottom with short, sharp jerks. Just vary your retrieve till u find what works best. Different retrieves work better on different days. To add some flavor to ur jig, tip with a sand flea, a piece of fresh peeled shrimp, or a small gulp flea

Okaloosa pier seems to be catching the cobia, how has the pensacola pier faired this week? one or two it seems, do you think the luck will change this weekend or will it be a circus out their on the point? Is it not time for the cobia to be in closer to shore?
