Title: Winter Blackmouth
Post by: magnanimous_j on January 29, 2015, 01:00:34 PM: Probably a dumb question, but anyone know any tips for catching winter blackmouth from shore/pier? I’m getting antsy from not fishing.

My dad was in the coast guard so I could fish there. Caught them off the city pier also. If you can find birds working bait then that would be a good thing. Little Cleo's and crocodile spoons worked the best. Let them sink on a tight line through the bait then real them slowly back so they wobble. If there is no sign of bait in the area, don't waste your time.
