Port A jetty - 11/14/23 08:28 PM
Finally made it out to try saltwater fishing and can see why it's so addicting! I fished the jetty of Port A a couple of weekends ago and caught a few small fish but also got hung up a ton. I know from reading through older threads that the fish are in the rocks and getting hung up is part of the process but I must be doing something wrong. I changed from 1oz weight to just a split shot but no improvement (also tried popping cork but zero bites). What was most frustrating was I would get bit and then get hung up. Several times I could feel the fish still on but couldn't get out of the rocks. Going down again next weekend and would appreciate in advice.
I was fishing close in looking for mangrove snapper or sheepshead.
If anyone else is fishing there this Sun-Tue let me know, would enjoy having someone to talk to. I'll provide the shrimp!
Thanks J
