Fishing

What is the best method of catching Jack Crevalle?
I need help coming up with a method of getting the fish to come to my bait.
I frequently fish the inlet of New Smyrna Beach, FL. Recently I have noticed very good size fish right under the very dock I stand on. The water is about 7ft deep. 20"+ groupers, sheepshead and 30"+ jacks.
The problem I have is, since fishing for them directly will cause the fish to wrap my line around a piling, I just cast out and hope the fish below me find their way to the baitI have out away from the pilings where they seem to hang around, with no luck.

I am using light tackle with power pro 20lb.
I use anything from live shrimp to rapla lures and gulp soft lures.
Live shrimp catch alot of rays and catfish, which I am sick of since they both have stinging barbs.
So, how do i get them to move out from under me and go to my bait 20-30 yards out?
If anyone knows Jack Crevalle's favorite food, that would help too!
Also, how do I properly set a hook?

My local supermarket sells cheese filled hot dogs, I know that cheese works well and so does hot dogs but do these stay on the hook well? What size hook do you use for catfish fishing and do you use a bobber if you are using piecies of a sardine or a piece of cheese filled hot dog? Or do you fish it on the bottom?

Hey all...

I'm looking for the name of a vintage fishing reel. I only have a vague memory of it from when I was a kid. It's shaped like a teardrop or a bulb, and has a square type of knob on the bottom of the "bulb." I'd like to try and find one for an upcoming birthday, but I can't ask my dad what kind it was, or it will ruin the surprise. Please feel free to write me back with your suggestions of what it might be.

Thanks for your help!

I fish in a salt-water lake. And the water is usually brown.

Some people have told me that the appropriate color depends on the weather (i.e. sun/fog/rain etc.). And some people tell me it depends on the water color. What should I believe?

I was fishing at Oceanview Pier near VA Beach this weekend with my boyfriend and we caught this crazy fish. I don't know what it is and no one around us did either. He tried to get the hook out of it and this thing was biting down on the pliers and sounded like had hed some monstrous teeth or something. If you know what it is please help!

When your fishing crankbaits do you attach an interlock swivels so you can change lures easily or do you tie them directly to the line? What effect to the bait do you think using a swivel will have on the running depth?

The swivels I'm talking about looks like this-http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_6276_100010005_100000000_100010000_100-10-5
