scup
 

cant believe I am asking this....

what do you use for bait? Squid?

Little pieces of squid.:hihi: :yawn:

little pieces of sandworm work the best for me in the bay.

clam pieces work well and are cheaper than sandworms

FISHBITES

Clams & quohogs & they are free ;;

thanks for the info guys

squid

Seaworms, clams or squid. If they are there they will eat all three. They are usually ravenous when you find them.

i just picked up some 1/0 hooks, taking the kids out this weekend, weather permitting. I havent fished off the bottom for scup in over 20 years. Hopefully they can catch some fish whihc I can use or bait when I head out at night...........

live-line while your fishing...
4/0 trebble in the nose...

1/0 is a bit big... think smaller for scup, they will hook up easier...

1/4 sticks work if the water isn't to deep.

squid..sea robin bellies work if you can get some and last awhile.

fresh seaclams only.

right on. went out yesterday and was usin dime size pieces, that way a nibble almost guarantees its a hook up.

Squid as stated above, small hooks, Live line one with the trebel.

And if you really want the kids to go nuts with them, throw a can of cat food over the side when you know you are over them!!

SCUP = BONEY but TASTY I steak then and grill'm
great action for kids and like Maco Joe said chum Cat food'/,
