Re: Summer Bait
I love FISHBITES. Randy sets me up with a sabiki rig and I catch a lot of smaller fish for them to use as bait. Last time we were down at AI, I added a small piece of FISHBITE to my rod baited with bunker and caught my first bluefish in the surf. It wasn't until I slipped a piece of the FISHBITE onto Randy's hook that anything took his bait.
Bonus to is that if you're fishing with some one who doesn't like the slimey squirm of a minnow or bloodworm, they will be cool with sliding a piece of Fishbites on their hook.

Re: Summer Bait
No - I've been wondering about the gulp bloodworms. I had a lot of success with fishbites last summer with the kinfish, croaker, spot, etc For curiosities sake I was gonna try the Gulps and do a side by side "taste test" with the fish this summer....

Re: Summer Bait
I've got some Berkley Gulp Saltwater baits and had a chance to use the saltwater shads @3 weeks ago in the bay, caught nothing. but I do have friends out on the west coast that swear by them.

Re: Summer Bait
Dunno' about Gulps but I'd try them if I saw them. But I'd make sure I had a bag or two of Fishbites Bloodworm too.
I've used 'em from here to the FL Keys, seems like all the smaller fish like 'em. Don't leave home without 'em!
