Hey folks,
I just got back from the tackle shop with a brand new $40 dollar Daiwa fishing rod and a few hooks/sinkers. I've only gone fishing a handful of times with my father. We've been to Cabos twice, but normally fish off of jetties in a nearby harbor.
I'll be heading out to fish over the next few weeks without my father and need to learn the basics. I've set up my rod with a hook and sinker and tied both with the palomar knot. The sinker is about 1.5 ft from the hook. Is this an ideal setup?
I'm really unsure which knots to use and how far to tie the sinker from the hook. I've been looking online for jetty fishing "setups" and couldn't really find the help I needed. I would appreciate it if I could get some help from you guys.
Thanks and happy fishing!
