Brighton Soft Plastics???

Post by fishing_minnow » Mon Oct 16, 2017 5:50 pm

I recently started soft plastic fishing and I own a 1/12 oz jighead with a 1/0 hook. I also have 4-inch soft plastic curly tail grubs in green, red, black and gold. Any suggestions on how to fish it or where to fish it in Brighton Pier? Thanks in advance. :fish22: :water: :fish22: :a_goodjob:

;-) cast it out n slowly retrieve it with odd pause along the bottom, for flathead

jighead is too light, use a 1/8th weight with same size hook.
cast it out wait till it hits bottom (when the line goes slack is usually a good indication of the plastic reaching bottom) then wind in slack line and do small hops while retrieving line back.. if you feel a tap or line go tight strike gently.
