The Sabiki rigs work awsome. I used them in Florida, and up here on a boat. Some guys even use them off of a shore bound place in Charlsetown MAss. If you can't find them locally, go on Basspro online and order em there. You will need to tiem onto your line, when they are uncoiled attatch a bank sinker or a small cod jig to the bottom to weight it down. Drop them down, and you start pop the rod a couple of times, then reel up a little slack, then repeat. When you get a fish on, you will feel it, don't be in a hurry to get the thing up. You will hook more if you work for a few seconds longer. One other thing watch out for those hooks. They are small and look harmless, but boy are they sharp.
One way we like to fish the macks on a boat, is to find a rip. Get about 40yards or so up currnet of the rip. Hook the mack through the nostril with a treble hook, and free spool them out into the current and over the rip. When you get a hit give the fish about a 5 count then hold on for dear life and set the hook. It would'nt hurt to chum some fresh dead herring or macs when you first set up on the rip. Just don't feed them too much. When you chum out some pieces free spool out a chunk or two, and see if you catch any thing. This way you save the live bait until the fish are around.
