Bottom fishing

[SkunkBoat]

I always thought it was strange that bottom fishing here in Jersey we always use bank sinkers below the hooks whereas in South Florida everyone uses egg sinkers above the hook.
Now I can't imagine why a seabass in NJ and a yellowtail in Boca would be so picky but nobody ever bucks the system.
I was on my brothers boat in Pompano years ago and I asked why they don't use a basic hi-lo rig and my brother said, "you just don't"
