Try using small metal with small hooks. I've been using 4/0 Gam. live bait hooks. Last Sat. went 0 for 30 using 50lb fc, on Sun. dropped it down to 20 lb and went 2-6. Fish had 1 1/2" peanut bunker and 1" shrimp in it's stomach. Hooked one last night and it had 2
5" spike mackeral in it's stomach. Most of the fish are around 30 lbs so heavy gear isn't needed.
