I am assuming that you are fishing off the bank so you'll want to use a standard plunking rig with a 3 way swivel or speader bar, 12" dropper to a 4oz. pyramid sinker, and a 2' leader to a hot pink #8 spin n' glo with a fresh sandshrimp on a 2/0 Vision hook. I used this setup earlier in the season and caught as many or more than anybody else. Just be sure and soak your sandshrimp in a bath of shrimp oil, herring oil, and anise. This concoction will increase your catch rates while plunking. Good luck.


I appreciate your advice!!
