When ya'll are fishin do you use live bait? Do the fish bite reel hard? What pound test line do you use? Will you teach us how to fillet a fish? Can we fish with you? Please respond.

This is some of the most exciting fishing you'll ever do!! When you get a bite on live bait, you don't know if it's 20 lbs. or 100 lbs. It keeps the thrill alive! I know that they'll be hunting for a video on how to fillet fish! Good fishing to all!

Usually we use live bait, It's our first choice until somebody brings up something bigger on a squid or cigar minnow then tactics may change quickly. It's best to let the fish tell you what they want. If the bite slows on live bait we'll give em something else. If they get finicky, we cut the bait to get some blood in the water and sometimes that will get em goin again. Generally the ratio of keepers to none keepers increases when you use live bait. The hookup improves with live bait because they seem to really hammer it. As far as going fishing with us, most of us are with our own boats who do this for fun.I think it was SteveM who figured out a cut bait method on the last trip that served him well. Maybe he'll give that secret up here on the forum

lb test is usually between a 30 and 60lb braided line with a 50lb to 100lb flourocarbon leader. In my mind the braded lines will allow you to really feel the bite. Mangrove Snapper will sometimes hit it 3 or four times usually before they move off with a live bait and you can sense when the fish has killed it and has it in it's mouth for good. The tensile strength is superior to monofiliment, less stretch will help you to get their head up and off the bottom and hopefully coming towards the boat. I feel that Flourocarbon leaders will get you more bites in the course of a day of fishing, supposedly the light refraction of flourocarbon is close to the refraction of water. Some manufacturers claimed in the begining that it is invisible to fish.I don't know what fish can see and what they can't. I think That I get more bites with it , to me it's advantage to use it. It seems to have a bit more memory than monfilament and that usually means more abrasion resistance and that's an advantage also when your wreck fishing. Hope this helps

Maybe T.M. will field that fillet question. She's the surgeon when it comes to recovering every cell of muscle tissue with a Dexter Russell. When she steps up to the fillet table the seagulls apply for food stamps.

Where are you T.M.?

Remember the most important thing about filleting fish is the catching of the fish first!

Mr. Bigfish-As stated in your opinion of finding fish on the screen and good fishing area, without the use of a good fisherman in the boat, you won't have any fish to fillet!

Looking forward to all the good advise and WE LOVE THIS SITE! It's about time somebody did something like this.

John and Jeremy are in Mississippi. John is drinking and building a house (I have a good framing square) and Jeremy just fathered a baby boy. We are still waiting to hear about the next fishing trip. When I sober up I will tell about the last trip. (This could be a while)

We're all pullin for ya.Good to hear from you, give Jeremy my best and congratulations to him. When he slows down a little bit maybe he could post that pork loin recipe. I've tried it a few times but I don't think I have it right. We're trying to get you your own proprietary smiley face. you'll know it when you see it . It'll be the one with the seagull attached to it.
