| Live bait can make the difference between and o-k fishing trip and an excellent fishing trip. Not to say that you can't catch some great fish on dead bait or lures, but your chances for big fish and big numbers go up considerably when using live bait. Now, that doesn't mean every time you use live bait your going to catch a record fish or that your going to "slay 'em", it just means that over time live bait will always outfish dead. |
| With that being said, during the spring and summer we can usually catch live bait in the morning before we head off-shore and it shouldn't take more than an hour, sometimes less, sometimes more. However there are times that live bait is hard to come by (winter) and during those times I recommend purchasing live bait from one of the live bait vendors that stay out all night long to catch goggle-eyes and other live baits. Also, if you don't want to waste any time or take any chances, you can purchase live bait any time of the year, you just need to give me advance warning that you'd like to do so and I will make arrangements for a live bait boat to meet us. Goggle-eyes are the premium live bait among live baits. They are durable and a very active bait and they are mostly caught at night, offshore. For these reasons google-eyes are very expensive, but usually worth every penny. If you want to catch big fish, goggle-eyes will give you the best chance. The current going rate for goggle-eyes is $80 - $100 per dozen (cash only) and they must be ordered the day before your charter to ensure availability. If you would like to purchase goggle-eyes please let me know prior to your charter and I will make the proper arrangements. |
