ct, your right, a lot of fun on light tackle. a lot of guys will anchor up on a flat where it drops off to 6 to 8 ft and throw out chopped up minnows to get em started, then fly fish for them. they are pretty toothy so a good leader or small wire helps.

They sure are fun on a light rod. I used to jig the homemade sabiki rigs on the pier with coffe straws over multiple long shank gold hooks in the spring. I caught 5 keepers (12+ in.) at one time once and multiple 3 bangers. You had to reel fast or the sharks would have a nice lunch.

We went out Saturday out of Shalotte Inlet, NC after seeing and hearing reports of the Spanish jumping in the boat, there was one charter that had 70 of em the week before.
We got 2. All the chatter on the VHF was how they were killing them the day before but no one was getting any the day we went.....just my luck.

Spanish are wacky in that the tide, sunlight and weather (& bait) play a big role in where they will be. The best you can do is try and it sounds like you must have done something right since you got a couple. When we fried them everybody liked the blues better any way. I like my Spanish grilled the same day caught.
Did you put some spoons on planers? I use a #2 and adjust the running depth by adding/taking up line. You don't have to let much line out to get your spoon down 20 + feet with a #2. A lot of people say to run a #1 but honestly I rarely catch them on a #1. One problem with a #2 is a small spanish sometimes aren't heavy enough to trip it and you end up pulling him around for a half hour hooked in the bottom lip with his jaw wide open. His belly fills with water and he drowns. When you finally pull him in he is DOA and water pours out of his mouth. So sad for the poor fishy LOL.
