A good stout 7 footer spooled wiht as much 20lb test you can fit and a nice spining reel are what i use when I am not using my fly rod. For reds, drifting live shrimp or small shad are a favorite and as far as lures go curly tailed grubs work pretty well as well as any bait fish pattern type stick bait. For mackrel make sure you use a steel leader as they are toothy little creatures who will shred mono in a heartbeat, back hooking small bait fiosh work well for them. Forget about the dep sea stuff, like I said a good stout spinning combo will work great. Flounder are ambush feeders mostly so running small minnos on the bottom wiht a flounder rig works pretty good and strips of squid will bring them to the cooler too. Mind your creel and size limits and Good Luck! Tight lines!
all i use is a small fishing pole thats open spin reel and a # six hook and a strip 2 inches of squid and i catch plenty of macks
