If not, then this means drifting which means less lead. 8-10oz on braid is enough. It is hard to stay in contact with the bottom, but your baits don't have to be down there long before you get a snapper on. We usually catch our limit (or at least as much fish as we need) within 30 - 60 minutes. I don't find it particularly interesting fishing, but each to their own. |
