    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!
