Towards the end of last season, I started getting more interested in live lining. A majority of this interest came from the amount of pogies my cousin turned me on to down the Cape in Sept thru mid Oct. All of this was by casting weighted trebles to snag these fish. We either fished as is or rehooked with an unweighted treble. Definitely some good results. Also tried live lining some scup with a treble thru the nose and then a stinger treble behind it's fin. Sometimes we even clipped the fin with a pair of plyers. All fishing was done in fairly shallow depths down to 20', therefore we never used any real weights.
This year I want to expand on this concept. I'm in the process of buying a castnet and plan to start practicing soon in my yard. BTW, there was a great article in this past week's Fisherman mag. All of this effort of course is dependent on findingthe bait which will be a new challenge for me.
I definitely like Goose's comments about trying to locate the bait being more important part of the overall effort/day.
Besides live lining methods, does anyone have any related tips for locating and then catching said bait? Thanks.
