If you're up in the bay, the water is probably still way too hot for them.Quote:

Also, it looks like we might be getting some knee-high rides starting today. If you have a LB, there's nothing wrong with that!
it's not too far into the bay. it's still in va beach. water temp right now is around 75 for ocean and maybe a bit warmer in the bay. lot's of 3-4 inchers. here they need to be 5" which any smaller you are really putting in a lot of work for not much of a meal. i haven't been able to find chicken necks anywhere, just been using chicken legs. I mostly use handlines....got two traps and haven't caught jack**** with them. have you ever used left over fish? i wonder if i could get it from a tackle shop..Quote:

Guess that's why I got madQuote:

admin guy, how do i get east facing RI beaches on the android app?
Fish guts are great, but probably not so much if you are hand lining because they will attract so many baitfish and rays... or at least that is my prediction since I have never used anything other than chicken necks, which I assume is the same thing as what we call "gizzards" in my neck of the woods. Best place for fish heads is a fish market, they usually have a scrap bin they will gladly let you take from, or at least the ones I go to will let you in on itQuote:
