You coulda just said "bump". I am stoked at all the fishing threads however.

I'm about to go grab a big Penn Fierce combo from Bass Pro and start getting out to the pier at 4am when there aren't so many people around.

When rigging the shrimp on the bottom, how do you set it up? The couple times I did the pier, I just ended up using big pyramid weights and some frozen squid but no real luck. Are shrimp much better?

There is also a spot where I can fish from at an inlet into the intercoastal. On the south side of the inlet, just east of the bridge in the pic. But last time I went there, the tide was coming in and even with 3oz weights, the shit was getting dragged into the rocks. Is it worth fishing there? And whay do you think would be the best way to go about it as far as bait, rigs, and tide?

Why did you have to make your own thread instead of just posting in the fishing general?

Battle II baby, Love my 5k
Spinfisher 6500 is a little heavy on a 7' rod IMHO
I might get a 4k spinfisher for the 7' and move the 6500 to an 11' rod.

OP here, I wasn't the guy talking about my pets or whatever. We caught two whiting the first day and got sunburnt as hell but we did better today. I caught this 15 inch spanish and a nice bluefish and the guys caught some more whiting and croaker. And yes we are headed home tonight so we're missing black bike weeks zenith.

I just use essentially a carolina rig with the shrimp. You feel the fish pulling easier and the fish doesn't have to move the weight itself.

How heavy of a weight would you do on that? Like a 1oz barrel weight?

Is the Battle significantly better? There is only like a $20 price difference on the combos.

Thats good OP, wouldn't want you getting mauled by a pack of chimps. Nice catch by the way!

Would thought Vladimir putin could catch a bigger fish.

Thanks! I was very pleased with it and it was one of the larger ones caught that I saw today. Some lucky scoundrel caught a 19 inch, mine was 15.

It really depends on the current. If it's not crazy I normally use a 1 oz
