Standard technique, dipstick. Works on kingfish and spanish macks all up
and down the southern Eastern seaboard. Typically, you slow troll with a
live cigar minnow, but, if you don't have any, and Spanish are around, a
slow-trolled shiny spoon will attract them, if they are in the area. You
can also cast the spoons to where the Spanish (but usually blues) are
chasing bait. In Florida, I usually used small Clarks spoons, but the
bait store I visited Saturday was out, and the proprietor suggested
Drones spoons. They worked.

Herring, you don't know **** from Shine-ola about catching fish. The
only time you boat any is when you have some old fart on board who can
give you step-by-step directions.
