Oh we sure have comedians on this site
Bragging may not bring happiness,
but no man having caught a large fish,
goes home through the alley.

I hope you weren’t stereotyping Cubans.
Not sure if I am stereotyping them, but there have been some caught in the surf and just off shore! Don’t see why they can’t be caught off a pier!I do know that there is a size limit on them. If they are too small they have to be thrown back. I think the size is known as Elian!
Had a friend of a friend teach me a neat way to catch Spanish while trolling for other stuff. He took a short piece of mono and tied a small Clark spoon on it and tied the other end in a loop. Put the loop over the back cleat an tossed it over the tramsom. I guess the mono was 20ft long. He would check it now and again. Wasn’t to long he had a Spanish on it. We picked up 5 or 6 that way!
Dang, I may have to try that method. Sounds like the lazy man’s way to fish and that works for me.
D! I think that’s what they call bycatch. You have to remind yourself to check the line. I think we were draging them around for a while.
I know a guy that did the same thing for kings. The only difference was he used a length of bungee cord to soften the initial impact. He claimed to have landed a double header of 20 lbers once. I believe him.
It ain’t no mystery…this beer’s history!
Seen some littleuns busting bait outside the jetties last weekend.

Back in NC around Cape Lookout we caught ton’s of spanish and a few kings on hand lines tied to the back cleat. Put a #1 planner on there and just wait for it to release when there is a strike. Once you saw the planer spalshing in the water you knew you had a fish on. I’ve always been surprised that I never see anyone trolling handlines around here.
cool might have to try that sometime if i am on a boat. ive heard of such things working and will remember that for sure
for now stuck pitching gotcha plugs off the pier. still fun though 
Chucky! Was just funnin you about the Cubans! Don’t go searching the web for a Cuban rig!
hahah oh man … don’t worry i wont be searching for that haha
