Cape May 18/19
« on: August 19, 2008, 05:50:33 PM »
Rented a boat Sunday and did nothing of note. Hit the beach yesterday and today a couple hours before high tide each morning. Not a big fan of surf fishing but it was steady action catching kingfish and some spot on light tackle. At one point a bunch of 5 lbs blues came through and one gobbled a spot I was bringing in. Always makes for a fun time when you hook up with 'non-targeted species'.

Anytime I'm catching fish for the table, I'm happy. I'll be at it tomorrow again. Only down side is buying those blood worms ($$$). Any suggestions for replacement bait? Suposedly its the only thing that works but I heard them hitting mackerel and clams too. What are Fish Bites?

Nice report. Good catch.

Fish bites are an imitation bait. They are made to resemble blood worms. I hear they work great as a replacement for the real thing. They actually look like reddish rubber bands. Give them a try. They will last longer than the real thing thus making a bag of them a better bargain than the real thing.  t^

Plus I have been cutting them in half when targeting Kings.  They seem to work a little better than the whole thing dangling off the small hook.
