Fly fishing...for bait.

Post by karstopo »

My son wanted to soak cut or live bait in the surf for whatever might want to eat that. I couldn’t catch any bait with a cast net so I tried a little pink and white Borski slider. Got some little jack and a tiny bluefish on that. Cut the bluefish up and promptly got him a shark.

Just another use for fly gear, catching bait!

I have a buddy that fly catches bream for trot line bait. I'd rather eat the (bigger) bream, lol.

On a spring snapper trip, brought along a 10wt and TS350 sinking line.
Tied to a platform, I broke it out and caught suspended bluefish, which we used for cut bait.
