ive been in the hull bait store several times and talked to alot of fisherman between the difrence between clams pogies and herrin ive tryed all im new in this sport and really enjoy it i have caught 2 schoolies on lures and spent enough on bait to builld an edition on the bait store .can any one help me what bait atracts more fish'':happy:

I have had exccellent luck with clams. I have also caught many with fresh herring. I have yet to catch on chunk pogie up this way. Maybe thats because we have'nt had pogies here for awhile. I did see a report somewhere that someone hads seen a school of them off of Point of Pines in Revere recently.

Pogey has always worked great in August and September for me. I always try to bring a little bit of everything whenever I go.

Anything fresh beats anything frozen. I rarely fish bait, but when I do, I like fresh pogies and fresh squid. Find a lighted dock in a harbor or marina, buy a couple of squid jigs and see if you can't jig up a night's supply of great bait.

If you have to go frozen, mackerel freezes well and satys firmer on the hook than most other frozen baits.
