[@Saltyscales]

Good news, baby and momma are doing well. My house is still there with little to no damage. God is good, I will be back in action soon. Thanks for the prayers friends.

Well waddya know! Here’s me, never gonna cast a net {ouch my shoulder!} checking out this video. Maybe if I start with a much smaller net and learn to throw to my left. I came for the chum recipe and stayed for the net toss. Loved the right hand finish there Joshua. That was sweet. Like everyone else I’m having trouble finding the fish food. Did you hoard it all during the pandemic!?!! Another captain from Ruskin rec’d Ace, but the one here in Longboat, nope. Excellent video, you haven’t aged a bit! 😉

[@andyk21996]

Congrats to the new addition to the family. Being fairly new to florida fishing this is by far the most informative "how to video" on KZbin hands down. thanks, I love your videos.

[@Saltyscales]

Thank you Andy and I am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the positive comment.

[@lunatic-hz5pr]

Hoping all is well for you and family n freinds over there joshua, prayers for all of the folks that are living thru and dealing with the aftermath of this past weekend

[@Saltyscales]

Thanks, just got my internet back. Lots of business related items and KZbin videos to catch up with.

[@vapetech]

Perfect! Casting my net for a good 2hrs on Jensen Beach causeway last night and got 3 greenies. 3 lousy greenies! Going to try this next time, thank you.

[@Saltyscales]

This should help!

[@wahootoo196]

Good info. I’ve always kept a can of Kozy Kitten cat food on the boat. Works very well to chum up bait fish and it’s easy to store long term on the boat

[@jsweeney4752]

Wahoo too thanks for the tip

[@williamcaldwell32]

Nice chum tut Joshua 👍 Have to get me a 6' bait net for my Yak. Thanks for the great info for getting them close to the boat. Congratulations on the new addition to your family. Be safe and God bless. Tight lines🎣

[@Saltyscales]

Thanks William, 6' net will work just fine especially for the yak.

[@captzola]

Thanks, great video. Straight to the point 👍 ...and without drama and heavy metal music 👍

[@kay_loco]

I can't believe I'm just now seeing this! School is killing my fishing game. I use the same mixture. I usually make a big batch and put a bunch of zip lock bags of it in the freezer. Works like a charm especially at night with a portable dock light.

[@Saltyscales]

Great mixture for sure, works 98% of the time.

[@prlovescorpio98]

That cast was insane!

[@Saltyscales]

Thanks!

[@daniels98]

Never thought about having an access hole to make relieving myself on the boat easier. Great idea!

[@HolyPlague1]

Great video the how to videos are my favorite. I'm glad to hear you and your family are safe. Jacksonville flooded pretty bad but we made it ok. Sorry for the mia but back. Happy for you brother.

[@Saltyscales]

+C.P Bagley Irma was a strange storm, definitely could have been worse though. Welcome back!

[@centralfloridatransmission5747]

He throws the cast net like a boss!

[@joeanthony9162]

Capt., T, now I know exactly how to catch bait with chum...appreciate the info and I will try this.Tight lines never stop!

[@Saltyscales]

Thanks Joe, glad to help.

[@bigo8192]

Congrats on the new arrival! This was a pleasant video considering all I've seen is hurricane coverage! Be safe and great info!

[@bigo8192]

I like the new vented shorts bro!

[@Saltyscales]

Glad you enjoyed it Big O, hope you all fared well through the storm.

[@Saltyscales]

lol refreshingly cool

[@dinoharrison5138]

Boy Capt., you REALLY fooled me. I know you said you had some videos ready to be shown and loaded, BUT, I thought for sure this would be an update on Stephanie and baby (Scales) Taylor. Praying for you buddy and the family too. Irma is looking pretty sick (and not in a good way) at this time 3:20pm Sunday the 10th. Stay safe and Be Well! God Bless!!!

[@Saltyscales]

I have a few scheduled out due to the hectic weather and arrival of the new baby girl. All is well and I will be back better than ever soon.

[@dinoharrison5138]

Hope Momma Stephanie and baby are doing well Capt. You as well. I have been waiting anxiously to hear. Glad you guys are OK. God Bless Sir! Will be watching for you soon.

[@bigkahuna7955]

I'm trying to learn how to catch my own greenbacks...great video. But can you tell me what time of year this was? What were the depths/conditions, things to look for in a "bait rich enviroment"...water depth? Water Temp?

[@davidpazynski2112]

Awesome video and thanks for the tips on how to catch bait fish. Stay safe Josh

[@Saltyscales]

Thanks David, you are welcome bud.

[@mikemcelveen2973]

Glad you're safe! What a grand entrance to the world your newborn made! Praying for Florida! Man your net skills are awesome...hey dont slow mo the pants tearing🤣

[@Saltyscales]

You are telling me, I hope that isn't a sign of whats to come lol. I used to practice everyday as a kid in the backyard lol.

[@CaptJimmysLivingTheDreamFishin]

Joshua, do you have a video of how you throw that big cast net? please post the link if you do.... thanks jimmy

[@Saltyscales]

It's an older video but still informative: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYqsi5p9fZlsmqM

[@Piscifun]

Great tip and cast! Stay safe man!

[@Saltyscales]

Thanks James

[@marcusyoung2870]

The music has pretty cool effect in this video. Stay safe guys.

[@Saltyscales]

Glad you enjoyed it Marcus, sometimes finding the right music takes an absorbent amount of time.

[@manofmusik1tech712]

Great chum recipe Joshua.... thx.

[@hmanone1063]

Thanks for making this tutorial. Would this work to attract bait fish for pier fishing?

[@Saltyscales]

It definitely works at the piers, we use it all the time.

[@jameslow5534]

Y'all stay safe bud you and you family is in my prayers bud

[@Saltyscales]

I appreciate it James, one hell of a week. All is well.

[@jameslow5534]

I'm glad everyone is ok bud. I bet it was bud

[@MoE-il8yw]

beautiful throw of the net! and soundtrack !

[@Saltyscales]

Thanks!

[@TRabocse]

Hi Joshua, I have not been able to find in Amazon, Walmart, PetSmart ... the Purina Fish Meal you used for the video. I did not see a link to it. Could you please provide some additional info as to what alternative is available these days in the market. Thx

[@Saltyscales]

Try Ace hardware with feedstore

[@jrewing8012]

I cant find the fish food local anywhere in Florida. Any ideas? Thanks cool video!

[@Saltyscales]

Have you called the feed stores? If you are in central Florida, Ace in Riverview carries it.

[@mikem1904]

Hey brother. What size net and mesh is your cast net? And will this work in Flamingo/choko ?

[@Saltyscales]

10 foot 3/8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpLEfGucZ8dkfac

[@mcheng102]

I have question, what was that song at 3:50? Thanks!

[@minibar7165]

Great video & super nice cast!! Would love to see you do a casting tutorial. I just recently witched to the same technique, with a 8ft and 10ft net, but don't seem to get that perfect pancake throw like you do.

[@Saltyscales]

Have a look at this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpLEfGucZ8dkfac

[@chrisw5847]

Hey Josh, do you recommend any locations or anywhere in the ICW? I'm new to Florida and would like to be successful. Thanks!

[@theLandJackal]

You said to to "Ace" for the fish food/pellets. Are you talking about Ace Hardware? Can you be more specific? Thanks

[@Saltyscales]

Yes, Ace Hardware.

[@Scubastevetampabay]

I called Ace and they said they do not sell tropical Purina

[@Saltyscales]

@@Scubastevetampabay Mine does

[@petesantiago7136]

Joshua i fish 10,000 island mostly and all i seem to find is really small baits? What's the key, depth, size and weight of net? Interested in your expert advise. Pete

[@glennv5906]

Hi Joshua Taylor love your chum idea of adding the menhaden oil. How far in advance do you make your chum prior to using it. I too buy the 50lb bags of tropical fish food and I mix it up on the boat as I use it but I like your idea of adding the menhaden oil which could make an even bigger mess on the boat so I’m thinking of making a bunch of containers ahead of time and just grabbing 1 or 2 each day. Will that work or do you think it will it get foul? Thanks, good videos, Glenn

[@Kevinw4040]

Does this work better than jack mackerel oats and oil? I’m paying 2$ for a can of jack.

[@Saltyscales]

Definitely overpaying, get this and save a fortune.

[@hugopreston7118]

I’m having trouble finding schools of baitfish. Could I run up and chum like this to draw them in? Or would it not work without a school nearby?

[@fredrick2440]

Joshua I live in Largo can not find it anywhere. Where is the Ace Hardware you get yours from in the Tampa Bay Area? Thanks

[@Saltyscales]

Hey bud, it's in Riverview.

[@lisacomic6766]

Josh, would this be effective in fresh water as well? Also, what is the best size cast net for a beginner?

[@Saltyscales]

Works in salt and fresh

[@thomastodd8521]

I'll try it after the storm! Stay safe and salty!

[@petesantiago7136]

Josh, does depth of water make a difference and looks like your in open water, is it best beach side or inshore within the islands? Might be a popular video:)

[@fishingwithanthony4203]

Love the vids stay safe during the storm

[@Saltyscales]

Thanks Anthony, we survived.

[@ray8535]

Great vids bro, been trying to find that Tripical Purina fish food and cant seem to be able to locate it in the miami area. I dint believe Ace Hardware sells it anymore. Any tips? Thanks

[@Kevinw4040]

Try this link. It’s a local place they may ship it to you? tampafishingoutfitters.com/products/purina-tropical-fish-starter-grower-chow-chum?variant=30604402884660

[@Mizzle83]

What size mesh net are you using for the greenies?

[@vinfish4697]

One more just In case does that work on mullet ? Nice spread I know how heavy the net can get after two throws

[@Saltyscales]

Honestly I have never tried with mullet.

[@hangtime913]

Whats the size of ur net? And what brand?

[@Saltyscales]

Big Gulp or Tim Wade 3/8" mesh works the best

[@miltonscornertobylove5068]

I also couldn’t find it on the acehardware stores in my area I found similar on eBay but in little balls I just put them in the blender to make it powdery n it works just fine .

[@kevinwhite7483]

Hey Josh, where do you get the purina?

[@YeahBruhDoIt]

Josh stay safe Bro!!! Irma is a few hours away I live in St. Pete.

[@Saltyscales]

How did you make out brother?

[@YeahBruhDoIt]

Thanks for asking, no power for 2 days and no damage to my house.

[@mattwagers9916]

Hey man, what flat is that in the TB area? That the flat just east of Weedon?

[@riverviewstudiosnet]

What kind of depth and bottom do you look for when setting up to chum?

[@Saltyscales]

Three to six feet

[@gavinargabright4487]

This might be dumb but does it work on freshwater to

[@mahtoosacks]

Gavin Argabright, dont see why not. Give it a try, and let us know. Im gonna try it, too. I have a consistent producer of mullet where I work - a culvert with a large marsh trapped between roads that empties into a ship canal (goo.gl/maps/Vw7fRxVo3bQ2), but some days you can't find a single one. My 5' castnet will come up full, but being able to do this at home would be nice, too.

[@Saltyscales]

Never a dumb question bud, it does work in freshwater for shad.

[@Hisslave1]

Hey Gavin, I commercially cast netted wild shiners as a young man and chumming is the way to go for them too. I used chicken laying mash mixed with oatmeal and made up in balls like Josh did.

[@William1987GTA1]

Damn!! Nice haul. Thx for the tip.

[@angelgamez9823]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

[@Saltyscales]

Just use sand and chum, works the same way

[@Jqbigrig]

Nice tip man!

[@gavinargabright4487]

Your going have to come up with salty scale pants lol wish the best for your family please post after all this. If you can so the salty scale world knows y'all are ok

[@Saltyscales]

All is well bud, momma and baby are doing well, still have a place to call home. God is good!

[@boarinator]

Are there any areas in Tampa bay you would recommend to go to and try this technique for getting bait, besides skyway ?

[@Saltyscales]

This technique works on most of the Tampa bay flats in the summer, we were up near cockroach. Good ways from the skyway.

[@JJones-zi8mj]

Perfect toss I wish I was that good lol

[@Saltyscales]

A little practice, and you can throw 🥞

[@miamiwax5504]

If anybody is looking they changed the name to "Tropical fish starter/Grower chow". For anybody in Miami the only place I found it was at sunset feed store. Its 35.99$ for a 50lb bag.
