I find lemonfish rarely pass up an 8" chartreuse curly tail grub on a 2 or 3 oz lead head..
I have also caught them on dead bait while snapper fishing.
Some people swear by small blue crabs and hardheads.
I use a Penn 750 spinning reel on a Penn slammer rod spooled with 25 lb mono.
We also do the run and gun. When you approach a smaller rig, make a lap around it then start jigging the grub.
My son and I caught 11 last year out of Grand Isle in two weekends.
