Saltwater beach fishing for spanish mackerel

At the beach today after school I caught about 7 nice size Spanish mackerel with some small little shiners and greenbacks.  They would pop them on some eagle claw long Snell J hooks. I would use a 6 ft 6 in. ugly stick inshore series with a shimano 4000 fx with spiderwire  200 yds of 30 pd braid.
