Bloo- I gotta say that scups do stink. They smell like salty urine if not properly iced in the cooler. Herring, macks, and bunkers are far worst ones I ever used.
I got a question for you. I read this thread that some dudes here use scups in July-August or spring, but I have a problem with that. I don't own a boat. And I lose my opportunity to liveline a scup on a beach or a jetty in the hot and boiling months because of the bathers. Is there another alternative time for using scups for bass?
GF- I know a guy who used scup chunks to catch blues and stripers on the canal, onset, and Monomoy. BF, you already have met him, Ray Ramos.
This guy is like a deaf fishing guru to me. He might make a trip to the cape this year, BF.
