Parasites? The little bugs that are in their mouths? Would this mean they wouldn't be eatible?

Great catch! If you don't mind me asking, what hook size, hook type, and sinker weight did you use? I went to Brooklyn a few days ago and caught nothing! (landbase) on the rocks next to the M1 bridge. Do you have any suggestions of a good spot?

Hi all, I get confused with a yellowtail "kingfish" and a yellowtail "scad". Can someone let me know if the photo is a scad? Also, are yellowtail scad good eating fish? Thanks!

Are they edible?

Here is another photo, if it helps

Anyone know what fish this is? I'm thinking either a Bass Groper or Banded Rock Cod? I released it because I didn't know what it was.

I just tried this, my dropper loop is about 4cm long on the line. From my observation, wouldn't this scare the fish away? there is alot of lines in such short distance.

Which size would you recommend? and colour?

Have you guys tried these? It comes in 46mm and 34mm I'm thinking of buying the 34mm one, but the 46mm one seems of a better colour. Thoughts?

So the idea in "Rig Two" is to get the sinker to the bottom and let the hooks swivel there? But the idea in "Rig One" is to allow it to float in mid water, or close to the surface? Is this correct?

Similar to this I guess: You can still see the water run, but there are no waves. Should sinkers be used in this situation?

Oh right.. Haha.. A lagoon, lake, wharfs, quite clam waters but it still drags the line with weight on it. What is a "running rig"? I've done a search on paternoster rig, and it resulted in two different types. Rig One: Rig Two: At the moment, I've been using Rig One with only 1 end hook.

Both saltwater and freshwater. Would be good to know both rig for future referencing I always see whitting tackle kits consisting of teardrop sinkers, but it seems that only a low sinker or no sinker at all should be used.

Also, should a 2 hook rig be used in this scenario? using a dropper loop?

Should it still be approx 70cm-1m if you are using 2 hooks?
