Vermilion Bay Dry Reef and Tiger Shoals

[Xpress21]

Just spoke to one of the best fisherman I know. He spent most of the day in Tigre Shoals. Couldn’t get past the gaftops. Not a single trout. Slick and beautiful water

Thats my luck, every time I make it out there, water is beautiful, gaftops are on fire, no trout.

Went out yesterday afternoon caught 15, just a few at each structure. Water is beautiful. We didn't catch a single gaftop. Saw sharks swimming around at every stop and the Spanish mackerel almost emptied out my tackebox, 30-40 lures, didn't matter which well head. If I tried to work the bait more than 2 feet off the bottom my lure was gone.

Why not just use a kevlar leader? You will not lose a rig to a mackeral, ever.

How long of a leader do you tie? Can you actually tie it or does it need crimps? Thanks

It is actually a braid. I use a 3ft leader for Spanish mackerel.
