During my fishing over the last couple weeks we did quite a bit of marlin "Trying" with only a couple fish raised for a lot of days worked. Any way I came to find the store boughts I used the first day sucked. On the other days I dipped into our supply of back up bait and found they were not much better.
I used to chase bait in Cape May and spend hours shivvering in the dark of different shops freezers to get enough to fish tournaments. Then I found Off The Hook at Hinches...I didn't have to dig any more. I could walk up to the case and right there was absolutely stunning bait that I could reach in and grab and buy.
In the past bait here in Palm Beach has never really been a concern. We have specialized world famous bait shops strewn around town. Normally I could go and find prime stuff in any of them. Well, since fall that hasn't been the case. I spent the last two days freezing my cahones off in different freezers trying to find enough good stuff to just get through this next event. Damn thats cold in there. Five shops I found five good dozen packs and a total of eleven good packs of selects. There is not a horse in town I would call better than a medium...
I would have gone to Miami to BM and got there but its raining hard and the traffic reports had the road dotted with wrecks... For those of you close to Hinches, count your blessings. They are the shizzle...![]()
