Re: Best Fluke Bait Ever

It's also amazing how big a fluke even a small hook will catch. Love my #4 gama killie swimmers. (Gut hooking is very rarely a problem - let the bashing begin :D:D:D)

That makes no sense:confused::confused:

That should be your sig! lol

I've brought this up before and I'll say it again: rental rod bait dragging on party boats result in short fluke holocaust. Heavy lead, heavy mono, heavy glass poles...a long fishfinder rig, and guys who count to ten before setting the hook. I've seen gut-hooked fish by the dozens in one trip.

One mate took my suggestion of tying on a hi-lo rig for a few rentals, sinker on the bottom and a very short dropper loop 10" above, using boat bait. They caught more fish and zero fish were gut hooked. Bonus: you don't even need to use that 3-way swivel.

Re: Best Bass Bait Ever

I remember a few years ago... standing near one of the area bridges and a few sharpies standing around chatting and not fishin'. I chatted for a few minutes went with my dipnet to a killing hold spot-netted a few chunky ones up-put them on a tiny bucktail and dropped it right at the sharpies feet. Nailed several school bass before they even asked me what I was using....:)

I would still say Gulp outfishes killies most of the time, but the killies do work and they do have their days where they outperform Gulp, especially early in the season. In the ocean I have never seen bait do better then Gulp jigged properly. On a couple of slow trips I've seen bait produce the same, but never better. Killies are great for inside, but never out in the ocean in my experience.

My exact sentiments....
