What is the best way/technique to get a few hardtails on the way out to the rigs? Thanks in advance for the info!

We've been finding them sometimes on the beach outside the pass. If you can find them concentrated, you can load up real quick. A sabiki or small jig will get em.

What shallow rigs do you pass on the way to the floaters?  Last time we left from Perdido Pass, we didn't see a rig for about 50 miles.

Head hard west towards Fort Morgan. Those rigs have plenty of them. THEN turn south towards Ram Powell and beyond....

Go to the rigs and drop a pompano jig and drop deep.  Jig up fast and you will catch them.  Sabikis work too but I get frustrated with the mess.  We use to make the mistake of not dropping deep enough.  The ones hoo was talking about always produce.

slow trolling  Sabikis (the larger ones that look like tubes or grubs) on the first sand bar has worked very well for me in the past.

Hit the first rig you see and if they're not there. Go to the next one until you find them.
