Prefered Bait?

[Flounder]

By the way, if I have encouraged you to experiment
DON'T put water in the bucket to keep a 'tog alive
It (they) will use up the Oxygen in the water, and
then drown! Just cover it (them) with a wet towel.
They take Oxygen right out of the air like you do.

I've never heard of someone chunking Blackfish.
While I'm sure it would work, I don't think it
would be as effective as a Bunker head.

The whole point of using a 'tog is to have LIVE bait.
You know, something that panics when a predator is near.
That "panic" plus being on a "leash" (leader)
makes your bait more desirable than a thousand
"free" ones. Hard to believe? There are times
when you can't bring a snagged bunker back in
one piece! Why that one, rather than the rest of
the pod?

USE A LIVE, LEGAL 'TOG ON ONE ROD, LEAVE THE DRAG
LOOSE, and fish the other one any way you like.
When the first rod goes off, you know it's a decent fish! Over 35 pounds for sure!
