New Fish Bites Flavor "Scent"
Today I had the opportunity to use a new Fish Bites
Flavor or Scent, Shrimp.
We started out today in the creeks with our plugs,
first top water and then divers. We threw them at oyster mounds and the
grass edges and even some deep drops. We then tried mud minnows on lead head
jigs with only a couple of small fish to show for these efforts. It was
getting late and these guys wanted to take some fish home and I only knew of one
or two more tricks to get this done.
I knew that there was a few nice croakers in a spot
that I found last week, so off croaker fishing we were. I slipped into the
spot and eased the anchor over, trying not to disturb the few fish that I knew
would be there.
The first drop was with shrimp and right away they
were hooked up and from the way the rod was bending it seemed to be nice
fish. After a little persuasion two nice fish came to the boat. This was
working, we had been there about two minutes and already had two nice
fish. We continued with this action for a while longer and the more that
came aboard the slower the bite was. I then remembered that I had some of
the new Fish Bites shrimp flavor. I opened the
pack and with my trusty $1.99 scissors, I cut some of them into small 1/4"
x 1/4" pieces and placed one on the top hook of one clients rigs and on
the one piece on the bottom hook of the other clients rig. We were
using a double rig as I have written about in previous articles.
This time the hook up was immediate, for both of
them and to their surprise each fish was on the Fish
Bites. I unhooked the fish threw them into the cooler and
down they each went on their way to another fish. Not long after
their rig made contact with the bottom, up came another croaker on each rod
and the fish were on the same piece of Fish Bites
that I had placed on the hook before the first fish. That is one of the best things about Fish
Bites, you can usually catch several fish on the same piece before
they get it off of the hook. We fished this spot for about another thirty
minutes before it played out and when it was all said and done they would not
let me put shrimp on the hook, they wanted Fish
Bites.
The decision to croaker fish turned out to be the
right choice, as they had about 30 nice fish to take home for dinner. Good
thing I had my Fish Bites.
When we returned to Clapboard Creek Fish Camp, I
loaded the boat and went in to get a cold drink. I asked Bob, "have seen my
guys" and he pointed to the Fish Bites display.
I turned to see what they were doing just about the time they were deciding what
color of Fish Bites to buy. I sort of grinned
because to date, every time that I use Fish Bites, my
customers cant wait to get back to Clapboard and get some.
If you do not have any in your tackle bag, you are
missing out on a killer bait.
