Caught on a Chicken McNugget!

I went out shallow water rockfishing on a half day boat one day, and after hearing passengers griping about only having anchovies for bait, the deck hand tied a ten hook gagnon and filled it with sliced pickle chips from the galley. It only took a few minutes at the bottom to fill it with bluefish.

 

Soooo, did that McNugget have a straight tail or a curly tail?

 

Exactly where in the water column is the McNugget most effective?

    That elusive gerkin hatch only happens every three leap years.  You were lucky to get on it.

     

    Matching the forage will never hurt you, but there might be something that triggers the bite better that day.
