I have heard that the Spanish are starting to run. Having been out of touch for a while what type of rigs do you guys suggest? Bait preferance?

Last weekend we were throwing silver spoons with wire leader in the middle of boiling schools (they were cutting right thru 20lb mono). They were in such a frenzie crashing on glass minnows, I think you could have put a peice of bubble gum on a circle hook and they would have been all over it!

Out of Panacea -
Anywhere from Govt. Stake to the Shoals to 24 to the Towers - find bait pods and they will be there.
Yellow Capt. Actions seem to be pretty hot right now.(trolling)
Once you find them I think the Bubblegum on a Circle hook thing just might work.
