    u can also use an xrap those can often get a big spanish or a king or if u you’re mainly targeting spanish u can use a hex head jig/cropie jig

    You want nice clean water that's cooled below 68*. Usually the sunrise and right before sunset bites are good. I would focus however on fishing an incoming and falling tide. In the spring you want to cast off the S end of the pier and in the fall you will cast off the N end. Happy fishing 🎣

    Been having really good luck with a clarkspoon spoon squid #00 and about 7 foot of liter with a 3 ounce weight and I get hit almost on every cast in the morning my pier. I just cast as far as I can and straight retrieve about half way let it drop to the bottom and reel again.

    In my experience, you don't catch as many spanish but the blues don't seem to mind that much. I always recommend mono or fluoro leaders for gotcha plugging. You will find the action is better too.

    Rod is a star rods stellar light rated to throw 1/2 - 1 1/2 oz. And the reel is a 2500 runcl but idk that I'd recommend that reel. I'd probably grab a battle 2 or fierce 3 reel for it.

    It does matter a little and can be affected by the water clarity, color of water, how the glass minnows appear in those conditions, and that sort of thing.
