Stop losing your bait! Fresh bait vs Salted Bait: Which bait works best?

[@jokemeyers7346]

Hi Brandon and Erin, I follow your KZbin for weeks now. And love the both of you. I am Annette and 62 years old, and that's why it's hard to learn fishing. The way you two show about fishing gives me the confidence to start fishing alone. You show to just try things out. Most people I fished with they do everything for me because they know it all so well and think they help me, but I don't learn. I ordered my own fishing rod 40% and reel 60% for not to much and can't wait to try it all out. I can't order your things you offer because I (I am Dutch) life in Malaysia. But beside that I learn and enjoy your KZbin. Wish you well ❤️

I work all the time and finally I had two days in a row. I went to the outer banks and the wind is blowing 55 mph, no bites. So, did I despair? No! I am binge watching your videos and loving every minute of it.

[@indzonewilly4202]

Brandon, try peeling the shrimps, then marinate them in sugar, leave in cooler for 30 mins, drained all excess liquid, add little more sugar and can store in freezer, the shrimp is firm and can stay on hook much longer. Works very well

[@The_Judge300]

Great video! It confirms what I have used and told other people to use for 35+ years. If you are not able to use live bait or totally fresh whole/bits/parts, caught in the last hours bait., you should use salted bait. Sometimes the salted bait, even works better than live bait and/or totally fresh whole/bits/parts. I highly recommend well salted oily/fatty fish, like sardines, herring, mackerel, tuna and similar. You should really try that as bait. In 1998 I went to Chesapeake Bay to do similar fishing to what you did in this video, but without a boat. When I went into a tackle shop to buy some bait, I were lucky enough to be invited by a very nice gentleman and his friend to join them fishing from their boat. We went fishing for Striped Bass and the fishing was fantastic. I ended up catching and releasing 30+ good sized Bass in about 3 hours of fishing. I took home my 2 fish bag limit and grilled them for my girlfriend at that time and some friends the same evening. Good eating. My girlfriend didn't believe me when I told her about the fishing, but she finally did when I got the photos back to me developed and showed her.

[@fredfable5655]

BULL SHIT...salted bait is the last resource, when there's nothing good around!!!

[@matejudaric724]

Hey there, I usually prefer lures over bait but I'd like to share 2 stories I have about my experiences with different baits. First is about the right way to use fresh squid which I learned from a local on an island here in Croatia where I usually spend my summer. I was actually on a team with him and we were taking part in a red sea bream fishing contest but before that we went to check a few of his traps and after that caught some squid which we used as bait as it is the most popular bait for sea breams there. So what he did with the squid is basically he cut the head and tentacles off and just threw it away, same with intestines. Then he cut the body in a way that he can lay it flat on a board, peeled the skin off and then hammered it a bit and cut it in about 0.5cm wide strips and he put the strips on the hook so that squid covers as much of the hook's body as possible and left about 2-3cm of squid to just hang off the hook. Before that I didn't really care about preparation of the squid and I just cut it and put it on the hook but after he showed me that I did some testing and can actually confirm that fish do like strips from the body more than tentacles and they also prefer skin to be peeled off rather than left on the body. Hammering part is to release more juices or something, although it doesn't seem to make much difference, at least not as much as peeling the skin. The second story is about a bit less conventional bait and that is chicken breasts which I also learned from locals. Chicken doesn't take much preparation, just cut it into 1x1x1cm cubes and put it on the hook. Similar to the fresh shrimp in this video chicken does fall apart and is easily destroyed by fish but does so a bit slower so you don't really have to check the bait every few seconds. My grandpa usually checks the bait after 2 or 3 strikes if he doesn't catch the fish or when he does catch he throws away what's left on hook and changes the bait. I'd say chicken is the absolute best bait I ever tried for sea bream and mackerel also seem to like it but I still use squid a lot because you just don't have to change it as often and usually same amount of squid is going to get you much more fish that chicken. One more tip about squid, avoid using frozen squid if possible. If you can catch your own squid or buy fresh squid at a fish market, leave it in fridge and use within next few days, if not treat the squid in some way, either salt it or wash it with salt water and leave it clean salt water over night.

[@williammcmillan4900]

Yeah im from Wilmington NC., and we typically leave the shell on the shrimp, for added protection you still get robbed but it takes longer..Keep fish i enjoy watching you andyour lady👍🏾

[@Leftrightlet]

[@brockmabin6259]

I dont think something like this determines the best bait. With fishing it's about finding the right place, the right time, right tide, and what the fish are feeding on

[@BasicFishingNZ]

hmmm interesting. i usually found salted prawn to b least successful and always found the fresh one to be much better. it is soft as but i usually tie it with bait elastic onto the hook but doesn't stop the pickers!

[@marijusvaskelis9817]

Dude, there's stuff called "bait elastic". 10-12 times around ur shrimp and u don't need to change ur bait too often. Would be perfect for fresh shrimp. I use it when fishing from the bottom, that elastic stuff saves ur bait from crabs and lobsters

[@decwow]

Yeah I tend to hook through both sides of the shell on shrimp. Sometimes it helps, sometimes not... I've noticed that they have to commit to the bite more often with the shell on, but on the other hand if the shrimp is already warm when you try to hook through the shell it will frequently turn the meat into pudding before the hook goes through. Sooo..... I keep it on a little ice.

[@A-TeamOffRoad]

I usually leave the shrimp peel on and gives it that extra holding strength when fishing.

[@HeySkipper]

That is a good idea too

[@simonsaysr1994]

On the contrary its easier for the fish to actually get hooked. I noticed I caught more fish on the same double drop rig with the skin off vs on

[@danieldickerson7674]

I've seen all sorts of suggestion on drying up and rubberizing bait... the best solution I have found is to use a bag of rice first, tumble it around off and on for a couple hours, and then place in salt.... but use sea salt, non iodized.... after 30 minutes, pick the bait out and place in a new sset of sea salt... ive got some rubbered up real nice and ready for the beach this weekend

[@dougstayton9313]

I catch a lot of perch on razor clams... clam snouts work great as well and require very little re-baiting.

Recommend to watch your channel, as I have been fishing, for a long long time, and I'm enjoying them, watched quite a few know, I'm not trying to be disrespectful in anyway, but please please please, take this advice, from a old timer from the UK.....before you buy anything else... BUY A BOUYANCY AID, FOR YOUR GOOD LADY, AND YOURSELF, AND WEAR THEM, EVERY TIME ON THE WATER.. At 15:23, your stood up, back to the boat passing you, if he had been going slightly quicker, his wake would of had you in the water. Please both of you, stay safe, and enjoy your fishing. Keep the films coming, very interesting, how other people approach, all types of fishing.

[@bryanjackson2807]

best way to catch white perch at the Bay Bridge is to anchor right to the side of the pyling with about 4-5ft between the boat and the pyling fishing straight down using live grass shrimp. Fishing straight down instead of casting out will give you less missed bites.

[@TCGboss]

I like EZ Shrimp strips and they’re so durable I can catch 10-15 fish in 30-45 minutes without replacing. Only downside is that you can catch anything from 10 lb Reds to tiny 4” Gafftops. I use small 5x5 mm squares of it that way the bait lasts a lot longer and I can enjoy the bite... try it out sxs with the squidy bits, I’m sure it will be interesting!

[@SparhawkM]

Man, fresh shrimp is soooo messy. And you need so much of it for one trip. But sometimes that’s all the fish wants! Squidy bits are awesome. Sadly, can’t afford more right now. Fun video guys!! Looks like Brandon got some sun while camping!! Take care and see you next week!!

Need to use salt that is local to your area.

I use egg, corn flour and bread crumbs. Dip the shrimp. Egg first then flour, then egg again and bread crumbs. Throw it in a pan with boiling oil. You’re the winner!

ThatWaffleEater 1 that’s my method for pier, almost always works depending on conditions usually.

[@azharborhan5406]

ThatWaffleEater 1 i think the sabiki rig and hi low rig like he using is pretty much the same. Just sabiki rig have a lot of hooks. So maybe you can tie your own hi low to catch the baitfish.

[@specializedphotos7064]

The Diet Pepsi brine we do in NE FL does the same thing and toughens up the fresh dead shrimp. 24-48 hour brine

[@chriswalls5831]

If you look at bass lures mostly salted so that does help catch fish

[@brianchoi2158]

If you are worried about the mess for it falling apart, just leave the shell on, it will still catch loads of fish, and don't have to rebait it as much. I used to use salted bait before, and it was messy preparing it at home, and had the house smelling like squid, crabs, of clams.

[@brianchoi2158]

By any chance do you sell the salty shrimp or squid you make? I just don't want to keep making it on my own.

Keep the shell on your fresh shrimp! Basic...and fresh squid is pretty tough . Not saying that salted is for sure good and tougher 😉$30 shipped for 1/2 to 2/3 lb of shrimp and salt, many cannot afford.
