Testing Clam vs. FishBites Fish'n Chunks for Porgy fishing

I was extremely impressed by the results we had when testing this product, so much that I won't be going back to clam for bait again. I go over the many reasons why I liked this product so much.

Love the fish bites for trigger fish , now I will try them on the porgies. Thanks Todd.

[@LongIslandLethals]

I have to get on somw triggers this year on the reef

[@Professor4555]

This is better comparison than all the these other guys fishing for pompanos and putting fishbites with real shrimp and pretending it's the fishbites that are catching fish, the bait should stand on it's own, like this video shows, salute

[@LongIslandLethals]

Thanks for the feedback 🎣

[@JoeK-q6q]

Porgy time on Long Island. Haven't done that in many years. Good eating if you can handle small bones. Nice video showcasing the artificial baits. Between Gulp and Fishbites, I see little reason to stay with real squid, clam or shrimp.

[@LongIslandLethals]

Great for tacos!! 👍

[@chriswalls5831]

Gotta try blue crab, liver, shad, crawfish

[@gerardamitranno8837]

Love the comparison, nice job . Thanks keep it coming .

[@LongIslandLethals]

You're welcome!

[@MKOutdoors]

Great video as always Todd! And Fishbites killed on our recent Sea Bass trip. Definitely outfished clams

[@LongIslandLethals]

Awesome! Good to know

[@anthonyharrison8855]

Thanks for the vid. I’m going to test those crab fish bites when I go to Massachusetts in a few weeks.

[@thomaslawrence3232]

I love fishbites for kingfish instead of blood worm. Have you ever heard of striper fishermen using the fishbites bloodworm? The fishbite bloodworms work awesome for kingfish and pompano.

[@LongIslandLethals]

I have actually. One guy was telling me about it last month.

[@jc-tackle]

I've had great luck with fishbites for porgys.

[@LongIslandLethals]

Nice🐟🎣👍

[@jc-tackle]

Also I've tried to salt the clams and kinda dry em out a little. That works pretty good. Also I'll find a bunch of the inedible mussels and chum with em. Can't wait for the porgys to come in thick here. Great fun

[@AOMilvado]

Any particular flavor? I've tried to few and haven't had very much luck. I very much want it to work. Great video here though

[@LongIslandLethals]

@@AOMilvado fish'n chunks cut to a smaller size. Squid worked well

[@jc-tackle]

@@AOMilvado squid and clam worked for me

[@renealbaladejo3698]

Great tutorial. Love the insight on product!!! What size hooks are you using and how deep were you fishing.

[@LongIslandLethals]

Thanks, 3/0 hooks in about 35 to 40 feet of water.

[@Fishpunch]

Fishbites bloodworms work good for spot croakers

[@LongIslandLethals]

Thanks for the info

[@rodbutler3236]

Thank you for this. Much appreciated. Is there a reason you didn’t use clam flavored Fish Bites? Thanks.

[@LongIslandLethals]

I didn't have a that flavor on board

[@rodbutler3236]

@@LongIslandLethals Thanks

[@andrewb369]

[@fishingbear69]

👌 👏 👍🏻 wow guys excellent video on my favorite fishing fish porgies , thanks for sharing , hopefully you can show us a video on the other flavors as well , keep them videos coming please.

[@LongIslandLethals]

[@marloudeiparine1263]

What Bay are you fishing on this video if I may ask? Thanks in advance.

[@LongIslandLethals]

Peconic

[@marloudeiparine1263]

Thank You again. 👍👍

[@PaulyV56]

was that a 17" porgy?? at 2 min?

[@LongIslandLethals]

No, the big porgy was around 9 min. That measuring table is 32", the porgy was just over half.

[@koleouellette295]

What towels do u use the orange ones and is that a rubber band tying them on?

[@LongIslandLethals]

Micro fiber with a carabiner clip, they have 3 packs on amazon.

What size hooks do u using?

3/0 VMC

[@donaldblock640]

where are you fishing, guessing Peconic?

[@LongIslandLethals]

Yes

[@adilh08gym]

Yo man so my boat is docked in port washington so where would i have to go to caych nonstop porgy?

[@LongIslandLethals]

Any bay in the spring, the sound or ocean about 30 to 40 feet deep in the summer. Just have to see them on your down scan and anchor up.

[@adilh08gym]

@@LongIslandLethals okay so i gotta be honest man, im 15 usin my dads boat, i dont got a downscan. Hows it work? I just buy one and bring it on the boat? And which one u recommend?

[@LongIslandLethals]

@@adilh08gym garmin is the most user friendly. I'd go with that. A 9 inch unit will have down scan, side scan, and echomap chart. I'll be making a video about all my settings soon.

Peconic bay

[@sal1luv553]

Which flavor fish bites

[@LongIslandLethals]

I was using squid but they have clam flavored

[@DrDio-b4u]

I've found using scissors worked better than a knife and a lot safer.

[@LongIslandLethals]

I haven't cut myself with a knife since I was in my 20's. I use them everyday and many power tools with no guards that I removed myself. I am very conscious of what I am doing. I will trying my crab shears next time though. Thanks for the tip.

[@BigcountryReactions]

Fish bites is better but the water temp has gotta be above 70 to work real good

[@LongIslandLethals]

We were fishing in 55 degree water that day, the porgy show up slowly around 52 degrees. So. That was a good bite for 55 degree water on the fishbites.

[@PracticeMakesPaper]

Thats why the have the fast acting fishbites without the mesh for water temp below that

[@NorthShore2]

Does fishbites make clam scented strips?

[@LongIslandLethals]

Yes they do, I did not have that pack.

[@NorthShore2]

Just wondering. With the fish bites are you anchored up and using chum pot as well?. Thank you

[@LongIslandLethals]

Anchored. I've caught with or with out a chum pot. Chum pot gets them more aggressive.

[@luccigucci1569]

Just bought the fish bites let’s see how they work next wk - thanks for advice mike_tnfoutdoors

[@LongIslandLethals]

Have a great time!

[@petermont1]

will they catch sea bass?

[@LongIslandLethals]

Oh yeah, absolutely
