I've heard some people say it's a good idea to use pop corks off the pier or the beach - anyone care to share their success stories regarding this method?? What bait you used?? How far to throw? Circle hooks or regular? Leader length? Leader material?

put some boss on it

I doubt it would work..... I dont think the noise put off by it would matter that close to the surf.

I was fishing for ladyfish and other bait fish yesteday evening.  I tried numerous lures and different types of gulp... couldnt get a bite.

I finally switched to a cork with some natural color gulp shrimp, and everytime i popped the cork, a ladyfish would hit.  I thought the noise of the waves would cancel out the cork, but somehow it worked.

Some guys on the pier use the bubble rigs a lot, don't know about a popping cork.

I've tried them in light surf before and got no takers...
