Hi Capt. Another great video. Question - what depth when searching for Mutton? Where do you keep the weight - on the bottom or a few feet up? Thanks.

[@wicholee1]

Hi Gilbert, thx. for watching, I will just cut and paste my answer to your question from the other video for the viewers on this video. Hi Gilbert, I try to keep the weight bouncing the bottom. It can be treacherous when the drift is from deep to shore as you can get hung up pretty easily. Try to keep it as close to the bottom as you can and you will be rewarded :)

Is that live pinfish in the well?

[@michaelmcclay357]

Story of my adventures. 17.5” muttons…

[@wicholee1]

lol

[@jimhenrichsen616]

Why did you stop using rigging floss?

[@wicholee1]

the rigging floss is the way to go so that u can get the weight off and reel all the way to the fish. Hand lining the 30-40 ft leader is effective but not optimal IMO. I started using the three way swivels and haven't looked back. No particular reason really

[@islandtime3767]

How many feet of water and what bait
