W,
This info's been offered up many times:
This catch was all on one small reef in shallow water.
Live squid is deadly...I burned through a dozen very quickly
I also made small mackeral and sardine with the sabiki rig
The first fish was about a 5# Calico Bass and bit a live mack
The rest were caught on squid, chunked sardine or filet of mack
I get MANY more bites with fresh cut vs soaked out cut bait,change often
Many guys use juice...I have it but didn't need it that day
My favorite location was "given" to me by a cluster of lobster pots during season. Turned out to be a small reef, rarely fished. Mark it with the gps if it looks good. If you don't have gps...
Fish the tide
Hope this helps
