Today, I'm going to show you guys how to use cut bait as a lure
this method is called long-lining
and it's a great method
if you're trying to get a small bait out
far and deep
First thing you're going to need,
I'm going to be showing you
how to do this
with Super Salty Tentacles right here,
but you can use a piece of cutbait
if you filet it
and make it into the shape of like
a sliver, just like this
the rig I've got on here
is a carolina rig
pretty much a carolina rig,
where the sinker
stays right here
okay? I've got two beads here
to keep'em in place
and I've got a 2/o hook
on the 2/o hook I'm going to put
a tentacle just like this
and this has got a lot of natural action, a lot of scent in here
infused inside
this rig, I use for live bait, I use for cut bait, I use for dead bait
but I also use this rig as a lure rig
if I wanted to cast just this out
it is so light, how am I supposed to cast it out?
and how is this thing even supposed to sink?
that's the question, right?
that's what this is good for, it'll sink it down
it'll sink little baits down
especially if you're targeting fish that want small things
but they're deep and they're far
that's a really good way-- this is a really good lure for that
so I casted out
let it sink a couple seconds
and I just start reeling it in slowly
just like that
take a look at the bait
still intact
and it's like, very soft
and flows really nice in the water
there we go
[brendon] wow, that's something--did we bring the tape measurer?
[Steven] It's in the truck
[Brendon] Far out? was it far out?
[Erin] Beautiful fish
[Brendon] The squid doesn't always stay
exactly perfect position
for bait--for a lure
so what I like to do is just wrap it with a little bit of braid
and then it stays in position
just like that
and now the squid is secure on here
let's give it another try
[Erin] Snapper blues
[Brendon] Huh? [Erin] Snapper blues
The thing is they're deeper
I was hitting them deeper
When I try and reel it in up at the surface
I don't get as many bites as when I sink it down
and to use such a small bait
you kind of have to have
you kind of want something small and heavy that will sink
[Senko Dad] Woah! [Erin] Yeeeess!
[Erin] Yeeees, Mr. Mikeeee
let's measure that boi
probably not 16"....
[Senko Dad] They are so small, man
[Erin] Very nice
[Brendon] I think I side hooked it
Oh, no
Whoop
So I'm using super salty squid,
but this method will work with
if I caught one of these bluefish and I fileted it
and I cut it into a strip that looks like this
that'll work, any kind of cut fish will work,
as long as it's shiny and it looks like a little bait fish
it's gonna work,
uh, the thing is you've gotta make the action,
you've got to make it look like a fish when you're swimming it
so that could be
letting it sink down and popping it up
down, pop it up, down, pop it up,
it could just be zooming it on the top
it could be letting it sink down and slow retrieve
it's up to you to make the action
I'm actually using everything that
I provide inside our jetty / inlet fishing kit
um, in here it tells you al my whole setup,
all the rigs that you need, how to tie it,
um, and it provides you all the tackle that you need to tie those rigs
um, it has stuff like what kind of tides should you go fishing in?
what spots should you drop your hook in?
what size hooks do you choose? how do you choose a sinker, what kind of sinker do you use,
it's got a whole bunch of information
I'm using the same rig that I'm teaching inside this guide
Niiiice. [Steven] Woahhhh
[Brendon] Piggy piggy piggy
[Erin] Wow, that's a big one! [Brendon] Nice one
[Senko Dad] Hooked perfectly too
[Brendon] Good job, what was that on?
The fleas?
[Senko Dad] Yeah, sand fleas
[Brendon] What size? [Steven] 13"
[Brendon] 13" it needs to be three inches bigger
Dang.
[Erin] Very nice, Mr. Mike
[Senko Dad] It would be nicer if I could eat'em up
That was squid tipped on this
Alright guys, I hope you guys learned something
it's always fun to fish at this spot, this is one of my favorite spots in DE
even though I caught a lot of little bluefish
I have fun catching quantity over quality
now, let me ask you guys,
would you rather catch 100 small bluefish
or one big bluefish?
I think for me I'm going to have to say...
...
100 small bluefish again
it's just so much fun
