What is X2

[whaler1]

Means you agree with the previous post

[Captsmate]

Oh i gotcha now.  To much money tho..ill catch some bunker next time i go offshore..i guess that will work.

 

[whaler1]

i usually go through one  package per trip and often land two or three per strip.  Based on the other things you spend money on $16 per trip is reasonable in my opinion.  I seldom run more than two rods with meat in my 4 rod set.

I swung by Oz Angling the last time I was up in Oswego (If that is where you are fishing). They sell packages of Herring strips for around $10 a package. N&D makes them. 6 to a package.

15 dollars too much and you fish for salmon? I must be missing something lol. This stuff is ridiculously expensive lol

I fish the jersey shore and there are huge schools of bunker an mackerel so i think i will try strips fr that aye.i fish for tuna and thats expensive. That link i got said 160.00 for herring

[Pa223]

I think that will work. I have used lots of types of fish in meat heads and had success. Including cutting a small wedge out of one in the box which works in a pinch also

Ive wanted to try perch fillets before.....but herring is all ive used. Familliar bite like they said is what works here.

I experimented with whiting filets last year and caught fish. Just had to cut them to size and brine them.

Local bait shop will have package portions. The link you looked nat is for bulk, typically a dozen or more packages 

[Captsmate]

Ok thanks every one

I think im gonna bring some of my own cut bait and then pickup some when i get up there. Who knows maybe ill create my own secret weapon.

At the risk off sounding like a real PITA just keep in mind that your meat strips should technically list the ingredients on the package be they commercial or not. We went through a long period when regulations prevented the use of these products and some Great lakes states are still very restrictive.

Ok g t k

This is correct. The bait being used needs to be VHS CERTIFIED and approved by the DNR.

 

Check out The BIG ONE Cut Bait. It is the Original Alewfie Cut Bait in the Great Lakes and the Original to use GLOW MEAT processing. It also does not need to be refrigerated which helps when the cooler ice melts and the bait starts to turn funky. There’s no wasted strips.

 

You can find it at thebigonecutbait.com or bigweeniebrand.com
