I caught a 36” bullred on Father’s Day with only shrimp and a small piece of fish bite but this is really helpful for enhancing my cut bait skills.

Great tips! Also, watch for the scale that may get stuck on the point of the hook after going through the skin.

The Camo Canoe, Another is patience. I can only bank fish where I am, so I park my truck, castnet some mullet, hook up set it and forget it till your pole nearly breaks in half. Fish on! Don't sweat the small bites. Just leave it alone

My local bait shop mostly sells live or dead finger mullet. So I've started using the large ballyhoo they sell and use 3 to 4 inch pieces. Our reds down here can't resist them. 👍

The big ones hung off my 48qt cooler so I couldn't accurately measure but they were about 32 33"! Big bait = big fish We could have got more, but theres so much meat that I dont want to get greedy.

I've been using smaller pieces of mullet and catching more catfish and small tugs on my line not sure if it's crabs playing with my line or what. I also appreciate the info on type of hooks to use although not sure how you would set that up. Did u use the hook at the end and a weight 2 ft. before that? Thanks for all you're wisdom and God Bless!

Hey salt strong, I have a question. This October, my dad and I are going saltwater fishing on Edisto Island, which has a main southern river we fish in. Would you recommend for Redfish and sea trout (gators) using live, artificial, or a mix. Unfortunately we don't own a trolling motor and we have mostly used live bait, but I have been trying to incorporate lures into my routine. Also, Edisto has virtually no submerged grass and very few flats, so what areas should I look for on Satellite maps?
@mahtoosacks7 жыл бұрын
Daniel Richard, Ive been lucky using choke points between areas. Look for spots between shallow bait fish grounds and deep water with plenty of cover. That's been my luck, but I'm new to redfishing. Where I am we have a shallow estuary that feeds through a culvert to a deep water ship harbor. Been busting the big ones by the ships.

If you can get them use whole live mullet, hit Shem Creek, pit street or anywhere else with a Creek walk pier and a grass line, I got about 60 granted they were pinky finger size. Just go down there with a small castnet.

@724riff7 жыл бұрын
I have found the more structure you are around and or reefs oyster beds etc go with as much as possible , a bull red is strong and you have to consider anything else that will eat a hunk of bait . I use 80 lb braid and a fluro leader with 5 to 7 ott hooks ,,,,,,,,,,,,, that doesn't mean you have to but I have lost many fish due to the structures and such and its pretty durable and you can get quite a bit of salt water fishing out of it , if your in saltwater you have sharks drums grouper huge jacks and so on that can easily tire lighter line . and I am sure many guys prefer different setups and so on ,,,,,,,,,,, maybe your surroundings will dictate the proper tackle .

I would actually use that whole mullet. I catch giant redfish off the beach with Whiting around 13". Usually live but cut works too. And you are right about it not catching the little trash fish but there is a much longer wait If the bulls are not close by. End your how to videos with a demo if possible.

I caught my first bull of 39 inches which is nice but not even close to huge on a live mullet maybe 6 inches , which I thought was odd especially since everyone that I have talked to in my area says they don't eat mullet very often , I live in ponce inlet FLA with great bull fishing so I wanted to ask ...... the mullet have been running not huge ones , and I love using them for everything , I have caught them occasionally in my throw net between 8 and 20 inches but they are few and far between , is there special spots that the big roe mullet like to hang out ?

You can start to recognize the difference when a crab grabs your bait. It just seems to get heavier, doesn't seem to swim. Just reel in slowly and have your net ready! Net them when they get next to the boat. I've caught over a dozen like that. Free bait and free dinner! Catching is catching my friend. Tight lines!
