3 2/0 snelled octapus hooks on 30lb stiff leader, placed 6", 18" and 30" above the sinker. At least a 10 foot mono top shot if not straight mono as stretch is your friend with frantic porkchops.

Just talked to a friend who just came back from Hyannis and he said the porgy heard is thinning a bit and smaller fish are more abundant than a month ago.

If you really want to pull the cream, consider using a bigger hook. 5/0 is not too big for platter sized fish.
