Matt, its always an estimable experience fishing with you. I am glad that Rusty got some bugs.

Sorry about the "sex panther" bait I was using.

It was the same last night. Calm winds, warm air, three legal bugs and a good cigar. Glad you got some. Lots of just shorts out there.

hey matt quick question. with the suspended bait cages, what happens when a lobster is sitting on the cage and/or rope?

Rusty · 10-02-2008, 05:15 PM

Matt, thanks for showing me the ropes (and for the hoops, bait, hooping advice etc)

. Gino (tackle dummy), your bait stank sooooo bad dude, but it was great hoopin' with you... and Mike too. Let's do it again next week!

A little more report... In about 30 min waiting to pull traps I got 5 spotties on the gulp shrimp. It was a nice way to kill the time and definitely worth bringing the bass stick for those who don't already do that.

I was out there on tues also . I think i talk to you matt anyway a great night . No keepers but the budlights and cigars were still happening. Are the harbor police sittin waiting everynight. Looked like they were giving a pboater the bui test. next time ill launch out of kelloggs. kinda new to lobsters fishing whats the best bait besides live cut up? thanks any tips will help. PI Does a 12 ft.wooden boat with electric trolling engine go into pwer boat catagory or kayak land?

Not too sure what happens, but they seem to fall in the bottom of the hoop net and in theory are wating for you to measure them!

I like that style of rigging the bait cage as it seems to add to the presentation of the bait pocket in the bottom of the hoop net, I do know that Jim Salazar highly reccomends it and that is pretty much as good as it gets in my opinion.

I started suspending my cages last year. I just tied some cord to some large swivels and attached them to the bait cages. I like to attach the swivels catty corner from one another. That way the bait cage seems to spin when you lift it and hopefully any bugs on the cage will go down into the net as the cage spins underneath it.

That's my theory anyway and I'm sticking to it.

Matt,

So you use a bait cage and put bait in the pocket? Sounds like a great idea!
