So I was on the injured list for a while and got into fishing a bit, mostly on the Blackwater. I am about to resume flight school, now that I've been cleared by the doc.
I plan to take my son on one last excursion, and I'm hopping it will be a really good one. I was planning on going to the pier off Pensacola beach. I figured it may yield better results, since it is actually into the Gulf rather than the bay.
I posted another help request for fishing the bottom, and was recommended the Carolina rig. I got those set up and will use either a snelled circle hook or a jig head with live shrimp on a 30 lbs clear mono leader. On my other two poles I want to fish for kings. I have read some how-to articles, but they mainly rely on two poles, one being used as an anchor line. I don't have the resources for that, so was hoping you could let me know a good rig that just uses one pole. I have a couple three hook steel leaders that I got from Academy, and some of those heavy duty weighted bobbers.
I plan to go the morning of the 22nd. Any thoughts on the location, methods or rigs I can use to make this trip a success will be greatly appreciated. If this is my last outing with my son for a while, I want it to be a good one!
Thanks to all of you in advance, this is a great forum!
