We use big herring. About 8 or 9 inches long. 2 9/0 hooks, must be barbless. Lately we just anchor up in our spot, and drop our bait to the bottom. We got 2 this morning. This one and another that went 28 lbs. Back at it in the morning. Our season consists of 11 days for the whole year. Got to get them while we can.
