It's been a while and i have been there and done that... I like brown oil (forgot who makes it) it's real stinky and if your really desperate you can spray it on some bubble weed and throw it back in the dink to attract bait fish... I tried that green stuff... lol yup stained everything green and didn't notice squat... tried that lunker sauce.. what a joke... $$ waste.... gave the seabait a whirl figured what do i have to loose... another $6 - $7.... smell... is very tolerable I love the sandworm potion it's a must have in the surfbag a touch on the bucktail when the bass are finness feeding and wham... what no bass...
every shoreline is littered with bank sinkers and lobster pots.. cut a small piece of the rope from the pot and put it on a hook... attach yer sinker and "viola" you can artifically bottom fish... LOL... I'm not into scup but wow the wacks i get... I love it when a tautog or a seabass picks it up... haven't caught a striper fishing this way but just about everything else....
btw for you guys who fish fiddlers for tautog... if you don't want to wait for that first hit... a drop right under the shell will get things going... outfished 4 guys this am after i got done slinging eels... picked up a couple of fiddlers threw it out there... 20 minutes later a hit.. was like doh... looked in my bag for another hook saw the potion and was like hmm... cast and hold on.... 30-60 seconds for a hit...
just my .02 cents...
