[QUOTE="hammer33, post: 5085093, member: 19900"] any of your anchor style weights will work better in the surf. pyramid, plow, satellite, no roll..... The shape helps them dig into the sand keeping them from washing around. As for bait. Fishbites/gum is a good stand by and wont spoil in your tackle box. For pompano, whiting, croaker, black drum. its hard to beat fresh clams cut into strips, or sand fleas. Shrimp works but doesn't stay on the hook well. For Redfish and black drum, few things beat a half or 1/4 blue crab, also live finger mullet are good. They will also hit shrimp and clams. For your toothy fish like blues, spanish mackerel, kingfish... Fish is best. Live mullet is the go-to but almost any minnow or small fish will work. Spanish Mackerel eat mostly glass minnows and shrimp so jigs, smaller spoons, or the like work well when fished fast ! Flounder eat smaller fish and shrimp. They lie on the bottom looking up waiting for a fish to come by. I like 3-4" finger mullet fished with a Carolina rig, or a jig with a rubber minnow body. [/QUOTE]
