Only thing I've raised on the spread inshore were skippes and that was on the way way back....

Thanks
I run spreader bars on the short riggers, ballyhoo ( with joe schutes or islanders) on the long riggers (including a wwb for tuna), a bird and chain down the center and I alternate the flatline baits depending on the day. Ive caught mahi on small jets and even plugs on the flatlines. I try to keep the jets in the clean water right outside the wash and adjust the distance based on speed/sea conditions until they pop and produce a long smoke trail. Theres a lure made by C + H lures called a rattle jet that ive caught some nice mahi on while flatlining it.
