[QUOTE=Parapapam]Guys,
. Then put the live scup on my baitcaster and let it swim. Put the baitcaster in the rod holder. Then start casting Mr. Wiggly into the rocks.

IMO ,Bad idea. Both eels and scup are wicked deadly on big bass but fishing one live bait at a time is far more effective. I've had my boat for two seasons and have taken more fish over 30# then any other method, I fish out of the boat once a week.
Personely I don't cut any fins unless I'm getting hits that can't take the scup down which means no big bass. You want your scup to get down to the bottem asap and keep it there. I never anchor. If the current is moving faster then the boat this will cause your bait to surface faster away from the zone. A rod length of flouro to a swivel then a rubber core sinker is one way or three way will also work is getting in deeper water. I like to use no weight but keep useing fresh scup...its instinc is to head straight for the bottem(let'um take line). I too like hooking them through the back. scup are spinny in the back you'll never lose them and this allows them to go with no restraint. I spend at least half the time catching bait vs actually fishing. Find areas that are within a short run of your bass spots. I like glass rods with 704Z or 975 or 7000's
