Everyone was catching but you weren’t? Did you see or find out how far down to set your rig using your float stopper?

Were you at the small jetty? I saw a few people there around 3pm.
Next time try thinner line and smaller hook. The water was pretty calm and clear on that side.
No float and sight fish it can be good too.
