try #8 hooks with a tiny piece of worm. Catch little bream. Use them for bass or catfish at night

I am building a house and flip a worm off my seawall and dock for maybe 10 minutes on each of the last two Saturdays - midday. Caught a 2# largemouth on the first Sat and 2 spots the next Sat - largest one was over 2.5#. Used the slider worm system described in the fishinhg column and 4# test - big fun, especially the larger spot.

I grew up fishing off of the dock with doughballs, and I still do so. I use a little micro light outfit with two pound line and a number six hook and no weight. I started dabbing the doughball with a garlic scented Spike it red dye marker this year, and the fish really hammer it. I catch mostly bream and catfish, although I caught a nice bass earlier this year. Sometimes, something really big swims by. Once, I spent close to two hours fighting a rather large golden bonefish that I had seen swimming around.
