Fished the beach at Casey Monday night. Had the same problem as JG with bait size being too big. Had 2 half hearted take downs but no solid hook ups. Tried plug cutting but ended up throwing it off every other cast. Anyone have a good way to hook up plug cuts for casting? Rummaged around in my pack and found a beat up old herring jig. Tied it on under a float and picked up 9 perfect sized baits (small) in about 10 minutes. Bang-bang, 8 & 9 lbdrs right at dark.
