I feel you pain brother. My last three outings I have had busting fish and tons of bait all around me....toying with me, sticking out their little fishy toungues saying "na, na, na na, na.
I have resorted to (b/c I didnt have a cast net) snagging peanut bunker, yes you read it right , snagging peanuts. They are so thick that I had to burn a tandem snag rig through the schools to catch a handleful.
Live lining peanuts
I am such a loser.
