Winter Bait - Cast Netting Mullet From Land

Image
By now all the good bait, and by that I mean mullet and pilchard have left the beach and gone inshore to the inlets and dead end canals. You can do one of two things, you can either get your plugs out and get em caught in the trees, or you can hunker down and fish with real bait. Listen it aint that hard, you just gotta be persistent. Long gone are the days of huge net hauls off the beach where you get a few hundred select baits in one chunk. Now you gotta get low, you gotta pick off singles if you can find them. Good luck out there. Follow on Twitter Betterduck Sub on Youtube Oranse Channel

Happy Bait Fun Fishing for Jacks and Tarpon

Fort Lauderdale - The word is out. The finger mullet are in town and you can tell that because you can see all the Happy Baiters on the beaches and bridges with their cast nets. Late afternoon you can spot fisherman staking their spots along the shore, and its that time of the year when people can a decent Jack from shore. So yesterday afternoon, I went out for a spot hopping session with Captain Jeff and Website Mike and a bait well filled with a few hundred finger mullet just to see what we could get into. It didn't take but a few flips to get into the jacks and a cudas, but we just weren't seeing any tarpon around. In fact the tarpon didn't turn on until the sun went down. Thats a tip right there. As usual the video is edited in a confusing manor as to not give up the spots. But if you were really serious about getting bait you would be following us on the Twitter .
