Harry, the other day you said you'd bought bloodworms, and earlier you'd mentioned using the artificial worms (Fishbites ?). Now the question - Did you notice any difference? Which did better? This past weekend, the real deal worked better, though I got one hell of a bite from a whole artificial worm I put on the hook for "one last cast" before heading in to the marina. I think it was a "bigger blue," because blues were the fish I was catching. It bit off most of the worm and then left for the fishy titty bar. |

On Sun, 07 Oct 2007 19:54:54 -0400, HK penned the following well considered thoughts to the readers of rec.boats: Good conditions today for my first "on-water" trial of my new little handheld VHF. From a spot two miles out from the shoreline, I raised someone on the other side of the Bay Bridge (about 15 miles, easily), and several boaters nine and 10 miles away down the Bay. Bought a bag of bloodworms to supplement my bait offerings. Holy Crap! $9.95. More expensive than the artificial bloodworms. Yikes! I haven't checked the price of them lately, but since they are shipped down here from your area, I'm sure they cost more than that. They have always been expen$ive! I never used them until I moved to this area. In Florida, when I had to buy live bait, I bought nice shrimp for about $1.50 a dozen, and live pogies for about $2.00 a dozen, and bigger pogies for $4 a dozen. But mostly I could cast-net for bait and fill up the tank in about a half hour. |

I watched him catching snakes one day and when the bit, you could see him quiver and drop to his knees. Then he stuck his arm in the bushes and caught another dozen or so bites in a period of probably an hour. When they did the blood worm segment, he and the other guy put them on their arms and tried to get them to bite... |
