Really no wrong way. Just allot of personal preferance. I simply put an egg sinker on the running line to suit need. As far as chunks use the head, tail, mid body.....1" piece, 2", 3" or use the whole thing! Use single hooks. I like the Mustad 94150's in 7 or 8/0.

Just throw it on a hook and toss it off the jetty....no weight. let it float freely

...also, add a float to that fishfinder, it will keep the bait away from crabs and skates. 6" to 8" from the hook is good. Use 18" inch leader of some top quality 50lb line. Its better than wire leaders.

if there is current ... cut a nice sliver of filet LENGTHWISE (with skin on of course).
then, at the narrow end, slice an inch or two down the middle to give the filet a "fork" that will flutter in the current.
