Again key into what is catching, what color and size lure and technique (e.g. reel as soon as hits the water, 5 second soak then reel, poppers etc).I spent my time chasing Redfish and Speckled Trout. One day I was looking at fishing videos on YouTube and stumbled across a vertical jigging video. It was amazing. I just kept watching the videos. I decided I HAD to try this type of fishing. I googled vertical jigging and found the link to Gmans vertical jigging guide on 360tuna..
