Occasionally slowly lifting the rod - - that was a pro tip. They can’t not bite when you start to take it away from them; all fish are programmed that way. If you are seeing them cruising around at the jetties in shallower water, go fish somewhere else, cause they are not going to bite!.

Easy. Follow these steps:
1.) Take all of the advice said above
2.) This is the most important…PRACTICE! You have to spend time fishing for them. You will get a feel for the bite eventually. Although, I will go with some first timers and they out fish me! Bite will get hot in the coming months too.
And for my hippy moment of the day. Release the majority of the 8+ lbers you catch, they produce the most eggs! The average, size at least for me, has been steadily going down over the years. Glad they finally put a size limit on them too!! The sheeps are the second best eating only to flounder as far as inshore fish go!
