Noob asks: Is Pat Holmes "Iron" rig story a good way to 'get started'?

The out fit you describe sounds fine for yo-yo iron fishing. This time of year I go with the surface iron though. A yo-yo stick can double as a heavy bait rod too. Do some searches about both surface and yo-yo iron fishing. That will help. Mike

Where are you fishing?

If its LB then your outfit may be a little different than LJ.


Location, species will dictate gear. Bait will allow you to target pretty much any saltwater fish easily.

Have fun exploring.

Pat's article is an excellent source of information.

So are the articles written by Andy, Adi, Brian, or Brent.

Just don't fish in the areas that Matt mentions or he'll end up saying that if it wasn't for him you would have never caught that fish.
