Used squid, and small rock or foamers started getting hits, but STILL nothing!!!!! then as I was about to leave, I thot my dad told me old timers would spit on their hooks !!! WTF???? so I threw out a squid and spit on a baby crab........ and BAM !!!!!! iI hooked up fought for a little while and it was heavy brought it to shore and my 8 pd leader broke!!!!!
