    This sounds like a good plan, using the big bit of crust as a controller float. Id use the lightest flourocarbon line maybe 4lb and strong forged size 18 coarse hooks. You,ve got to expect a fight if you hook one too, so good luck amongst the boats

      Maybe even light clear braid, you probably need your gear to be near invisible.

          do you catch a mullett "everytime" you put a maggot in the water when fishing for them?

                sounds like some tackle company bull fluorocarbon is the best bet with the least refraction of any line

                  No, damn hard to catch, sometimes you get roach and sometimes you get bream
