When I was a kid and the state pier in Fall River was open we would float large sand-worms with a bobber into the bow of the big battleship. It was on every time. We would catch tons of fish up to 20lbs. The chunks on the bobber were also a big hit there. Incoming to slack was the best. HUGE Tog on the connecting pier also. But those days are way over. But thanks to this bobber post I have a great simple idea that may produce some good fish this year. K-I-S-S. We'll see. BTW it was nice to hear those drags bragging in the video.

Routine for swimming herring from a shallow beach. Guys put lights in them.
Works with eels, too.
Bait is bait.

WHAAAAAAATT??? How would you know this stuff? |
It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

I've seen this video before. Nice to watch it again to get the juices flowing. We used to use balloons on live bait. Same thing though.

Boy, that's an interesting concept....I wonder if you could catch blackfish that way...  |
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
