Pescador, great story, great line- "I meant to do that"
Just to be my usual peedant self, they were actually calling you "El Buzo" (Boo soh). Buceo (boo say oh) is the sport of diving, bucear, the verb -to
dive-, buzo- diver.
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

Spoon to unhook them??

tank, this way they stay alive longer and remain very lively.
I fish florida every year and everyone there makes bait with a cast net. Every time I try I end up with lumps on my head and bruised elbows and hands
from the weghts! After a day or 2 of abuse I usually pull out the old sabiki rig! The only good thing about cast nets is...one good throw and you have
all the bait you need for the day and then some! |
Well I'm a little embarrassed, but I have enough sabiki rigs for the next 110 years. I was buying lots of different sizes and inadvertently duplicated
one of the orders. I have a large gallon ziplock full. At the time I didn't think I could use my cast net and wanted to be prepared.
At the Mulege tourney I will be handing them out if anyone wants them. After a few attempts with my cast net, I may decide I need them.

Thanks for the info on how to use them.

Some guys use a spoon to unhook the bait from the sabikis, personally I made a dehooker from a piece of fairly stout, maybe 1/8 inch diameter
stainless steel wire which I insert into a dowel with epoxy. The other end is bent in a u-shape and when I get a load of baitfish, I lift up the rod
and hold the rig over the bait tank. Then I run up the line to the hook, give a little shake, and the bait falls off into the tank (most of the time)
and I never touch the bait. This keeps the bait alive and friskier than if you touch the bait with your hands and remove part of the slime. A spoon
or a knife edge does primarily the same thing, I just think the dehooker works better. If you are not real handy, then you can get the thing premade

Great resource, but I think there should be a bit more emphasis on the slight rotation to spread the net.
