I'm glad I didn't bring it. There was nothing out there for it.

Yeah, but the chicks dig it.

(I can't remember which one of my old buddies used to say that in answer to everything).

Man, 500 yds out? If you nail a big boy at that distance it will be a bigtime workout.
You'll get em next time around.

Hey, just curious, on occasion when we shark or tuna fish we like to take a whole bait and stuff some cotton down their gullet and fill them with bunker oil and wire the mouth shut. Ever try that?

Shark Hunter · September 27, 2015, 07:06:59 PM

No, I haven't Lou. Not sure what Bunker Oil even is.
After a couple hours, the bait is crabbed out. Then we run out fresh. The Bonita is extremely Bloody.
I need to start using stingray, I had my Bow with me, but didn't shoot any.

Mr D.
Bunker oil is the oil that comes from menhaden. Bait fishing here for tuna can be 300ft or more deep. A lot of times the tuna are suspended a 100/150ft so no crabs to worry about. We've even stuck a piece of rag in the baits gullet and then squirt some bunker oil from a squeeze bottle into them to saturate the rag. Wire them shut and then you have this pungent oil leaking from your bait continually. I'm a firm believer in scents.
A lot of times I'll take my artificials the night before, put them in a ziplock with scent, soak them overnight and fish them the next day. I may have several bags ready and change lures out occasionally to make sure they leave scent an oil slick in the water.
Might be a bit extreme but it works!!

I've been using the Berkley Gulp Alive soaking them in a jar. Going to find some Bunker oil because it can't hurt to try it.

The great thing about the bunker oil is not only the smell but the visible slick it leaves in the water.

RowdyW · September 27, 2015, 11:19:24 PM

It's probably available at any local live bait shop here in Florida.

Slugggo · September 28, 2015, 05:02:27 PM

It was still a fun trip.
We will get them in the spring!

If nothing else, we slayed the Yuengling!

We had all our ducks in a row. It is what it is. All I can think about, is going back.

I have seven months to wait.
