Another montgomerian!
All i've ever caught in the harbor is a ton of pin fish and stuff like that. But where there's bait fish, there's got to be something there to eat them. I'm sure the reds cruise through there. That's what I'd be shooting for.

I actually caught a decent size Jack Creval in the harbor about 20 years ago. Maybe the most fun catch ever. SOB fought like crazy. I've caught a few skipjacks and salt cats as well.

thanks for the advice...what would I use (rig) to fish for reds?
I didn't mind missing the pomps because at least the ladyfish kept the afternoon's interesting.

Reds will eat just about anything but I know they love small blue crab.
1oz. egg weight, followed by a swivel, then a 3-4 foot 30lb mono leader, with an 8/0 hook.
I've also used live shrimp but they usually are eaten by cats as soon as they hit the water.
I wish I was fishing.
