When live-linning baits like mackeral or herring, you want to cast and work them, really you want to let them work for you... With mackeral use a 6/0 live bait hook brhing the dorsal and same with herring or even better through the nostril with herring. You need to gingerly cast them out as too much pressure will send the fish in one direction with the hook staying close. You really aren't using any additional weight, therefore no fish finder rig... Then you let them swim on their own. You'll know things are happening when the live fish starts getting all skittish and frantic...

I have'nt gotten many fish from Warwick (I'll be trying more so this year ;D ) but you'll need a freshwater permit to get them at the runs...
