When the commercial season is open for scup, a guy I work with goes after them with fish pots. Sometimes I'II tag along armed with a rod and reel. When he hauls the gear to the surface, clam bellies will fall out of the trap. The bass will follow the trap to the surface eating the bits of bait. If I see a bass I'II drop a live scup overboard and have me some fun.
With scup the drop back is long, real long. Much longer than an eel. My first time doing it, out of eight takes, I must have dropped close to eight fish. I was fumming with frustration. Then I got better, but still dropped my share of fish.
