I haven't posted a report for a few days, because we're catching exactly the same thing we've been catching, some black fish, some fluke, seabass porgies , so on and so forth. Today there was a swell, and not so pristine water, it wasn't as good. As I worked my way down the beach , I found cleaner and cleaner water . But I caught a seabass today and it was just one of many like it, but I feel I have to comment. It was a small seabass a throwback, Upon taking the hook out of it I noticed it had a mouthful of gulp beat. Now don't get me wrong I'm very fond of using gulp bait but I think people should be very careful when discarding it. It exudes pheromones , which make it very effective , because the fish want to eat it, it's not just a teaser as everyone well knows , but when it gets ragged people throw it over the side, it should not be discarded in this manner . Fish eat it , and I don't know that it's very good for them. More and more I catch fish , and they have got mouthful of it or they are venting it . I have taken used gulp bait cut it in small pieces , and tipped my bait with it , and it's very effective , you don't have to get rid of it it's costly . You should be careful about the throwing these things away, it's not good for the environment, the same goes with monofilament , and power pro , these should not be thrown in the garbage in a loose mess . I wrap it in a tight ball and , wrap it in tinfoil . I throw it in my barbecue for a few minutes just to solidify it , You really don't want it to melt it , it will ruin your barbecue , or just wrap it in a tight ball , and put it in tinfoil in a plastic bag , this is much less detrimental to the environment, and the birds , and animals dont'get tangled in it . These are just the things that animal-rights people love to see ,and we are the Target of of bad press. Only a thought
