little pieces of mackarel attached to the hooks. When we hook up with a few mackarel, we throw some finely chopped mackarel over the side. This has
seemed to work pretty well, even on the "hard to make bait days". I cannot wait to come down again in about 3 or 4 months.. |
I have a grinder and make a mixture with cornmeal and you could throw this stuff till the cows come home right now and you are just wasting your time.
The fish are relating to the deeper water and that is where you wil find the bait. Your system works to gather fish that are scattered but already
in the general area. If you chum in an unproductive area you will not get much of a response, except for some well fed bay bass.
