When freezing baits such as bally's, goggle eyes and tinker mackeral, i find they keep much better and never get cloudy eyes if I dry them completely then lightly coat with salt.
No special brine needed. For kingfish, i prefer a frozen hoo over fresh for the simple fact that the kings teeth go right thru the softer hoo and I get a better hook-up! |

other tips...
buy fingernail clippers, hang your gloves from a clip under the rail, do not eat lay's potato chips on the teak combing boards!, watch your depth finder when your out fishing!, make sure you smile and be safe!

Here is something a bit better then a box that the lure comes in.. This is my first invention ever. It is called Lure Tamer and works for all lures 6" and under... There is a demo video on Youtube.com and more info at Luretamer.com if you would like to see it. If you like it, PM your addy and I'll send you a couple to try. |

Drop a "Glow Stick" in your livewell while livebaiting at night... makes catching those little dudes a LOT easier.
The Foam "Coozie" cups make a great line spool holder. When Speck fishing w/lead heads, take the needle nose pliers and open the gap on the hook just a bit... you'll get a better hook-up ratio. Keep a bucket of fresh water close when lure fishing. When you change lures, toss'em in the bucket. It'll result in a LOT less rust on your rigs. One of those "Clip On" lights on the bill of your cap is ESSENTIAL for night fishing. |

Even if all the weather gurus are predicting a tropical storm that will not become a hurricane for days yet,
haul your boat.

Never ever scream or berate your mate in front of a charter. If you have to brine baits use Kosher salt instead of bait brine it won't stink up your box as bad. Pay attention to your terminal tackle, it is the one thing you have control over in fishing, you can't catch the fish of a lifetime if your leader breaks or a crimp fails.

haulin' rods
Roof top ski carriers by Yakima or Thule are perfect for carrying rods, especially for surf fishing. No worry of trees or power lines, lockable...just use a reel bag. Then you can use the vertical racks on the beach. Never had a problem with bugs, but I fish mostly fall and spring when they aren't prevalent.

When crimping...
take a lighter and melt the end of the mono or fluoro and mash it flat, then let cool and snug it up to the crimp. It will never slide through and I watched a fella catch a 150 yellowfin without even crimping the sleeve

If you are a jig fisherman, be sure to either take the jig off of the split ring or wrap the jig to the blank with a #64 rubber band- if you don't the jig can hit the blank and weaken it as you're running. Next thing you know you'll be using a really short jigging rod.
