Come to the NAC (Norfolk Anglers Club) Meeting this Monday night at Martin's Restaurant in Norfolk on Bayview Blvd. near Tidewater Dr. at 7 pm. Capt. Darren Foster will be talking about fishing structure and you can certainly pick his brain. It's FREE and you don't have to become a member to attend. There are also plenty of deep droppers there as well.

Try that, replace the "J" hooks with 12/0 circles and you are good to go I will do a podcast on my Grouper rig.

Fred, no need to use special rigs, just bring a few jigs. :))

All thats fine and dandy but Capt Jim has rigs on the boat already for the grouper drop and the other bottom feeders. So bring the Jigs if you want but dont worry if you forget'em
