Brew GI Mangroves
We put a spanking on some nice mangroves today. 5 man limit with a few over 10lbs. We never lost sight of the Grand Isle water tower.

Cut spanish sardines for chum, 40# flouro leader and 3/0 circle hooks. Throw a handful of chum to the rig leg, then throw the chum with hooks buried in them.

Crank your drags down as far as they go. When you hook up, walk the fish to the back of the boat before you start reeling. If you can stop that first run, you've got them beat.

YellaBlazer, that is exactly how we have been catching them, although we haven't been catching as many as you have in that picture.

Default Another Tip
I generally start with 40# flouro leaders and go lighter or heavier form there. For length, I'll pull a length of leader with arms straight apart (about 5ft). Some days it's 1 pull, others it's 2. The fish will tell you what they want.

If you're lucky enough and can get away with 50lb or 60lb leader, you'll land a lot more of the stud mangroves. They're almost impossible to stop with less than 40.
