I caught the same fish on the 15g, same color
Keep getting told you can’t jig on the beach, but you know..
Didn’t know they’ll bite on a lure.
Nice whiting.
Take the stradic off the sand lmao
Additional details
First part of incoming tide. Winds low to very mild breeze out of the SSW
NE FL coast
Over a dozen Small seabirds were sitting on the swell just beyond the shore break
Intermittent small birds diving from above
Never seen a butterfly jig used in that way. I always use Big Nic jigs to jig from shore. Similar shape, but more of a casting jig.
The Major Craft gang grows. Such good rods
