Porgy question

Double high low rig with clam and a 2 ounce sinker should do.

Watch your depth finder and look for lumps with what looks like hair on them and you should be in.

Have fun

2 oz? Today the current was ripping on the reef and we used 10's and were just barely holding. Want to the rocks and got away with 5's.

Need a porgy forum Gerry.

Was out there the other day and you could have held with a split shot Kurtis

Moving this to Dave's Powgie Corner

Dat boy loves him some Powgies

And the rest of you guys behave.... There's a lady present

If You fish the rocks or reef small seabass are a problem. We cured this by putting hooks 3 foot above the sinker, nothing lower, and caught pure porgies.

We were catching them 20 feet off the bottom. Nothing but sea bass if you hit bottom.

Thanks to everyone for the information provided. The day started out with a thud as we had engine problems and were stuck at the dock for over an hour. However, once we got going we got to the Porgy grounds based on Gerry's suggestion and it was Porgy on! I must have got 60 myself including at least a dozen double headers until I got tired of fishing for them. Also hooked and landed a cow nose ray on very light Porgy tackle which was a lot of fun. Some blues came to hand as well. Thanks for all the help guys!

Glad you got into them and the 411 helped.
