Re: questions from a rookie
Match the hook size to the bait you are using.
Frozen cigar minnows (#2 or #1 treble 3X or 4X)
Live LYs and such (same)
Mornings are my favorite, but not always the best.
Afternoons are good during calm periods when the wind (seabreeze) starts blowing.
Nights are good for escaping the heat of the day and often catching catfish ;-)
You can sometimes catch mullet from the pier but you have to snatch them with a big treble hook.
Hope this helps!(RETIRED) mostly.

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
