live spot rigging

[longfin2]

Prettydecent day. I had 2 on live spot and the other 3 were on gulp. I ripped the spot out too early on a couple of really good bites, thinking about trying a stinger hook of some sort. 2 biggest were 21", one on gulp and one on a spot. All of them were caught in 11' of water or less, only had 2 throwbacks.

Choco.....spot has been the ticket for quite a while...I run 50lb braid for a main line with a fishfinder slide-----bead and barrel swivel to a 40' section of 20 lb floro----4/0 light wire circle hook. Let um eat in free spool for 20-30 seconds, then lift and see if they are still licking...if so, they are done for!

Great thread, like to see how everyone else rigs them...I can't seem to catch any spot smaller than 5-8" in Wachapreague this year. In the past we never had trouble getting smaller ones, has anyone else had this issue? We started running a stinger hook to the larger spot but I'd much rather find a nice mess of 3" spot with the more difficult fishing this year...

Na just messin around. but ya never know.... I will introduce myself next time. Good to have local connections. Also do alot of offshore runs. The more connected the better.
