depends on what u are fishing for

 

[John B.]

Are you fishing from the pier? I'd say this time of year a Carolina rig with a 1/2oz-1oz egg weight (depending on current) with a #2 eagle claw 084-A J-hook with either a live shrimp or bull minnow would be most effective. Redfish, flounder and black snapper will be the main things you catch this time of year.
