I use basically a dropper loop rig with a 4 oz weight, depending on the
amount of current.

Today, I hit up an old favorite rock for nine La Jolla style cookie cutter
Reds, since I already had a big Treefish in the bag. Three miles offshore in
15 mph of wind. Gotta love the mirage drive out there.

Also got a bunch of macks for bug bait.

I'm working on the video, but its pretty bland and I had to go with medium
sized rod and more weight due to the current and wind conditions and was
fishing over 150 feet deep. Fishfinder and GPS are crucial in this type of
fishing.

Nice!

Not sure about the sheepshead, but the rockfish are definitely not trash to me. The browns and shallow water RF seem to have even clearer, white meat compared to the vermillion, IMHO. More fun and less winding, too.
