- Fishing success all starts with bait. We could spend an infinite amount of time covering the details of bait fishing and emphasizing how important it is to properly care for your bait, especially if you plan to pen it up for long periods of time. In this video we target a wide variety of scaled baits - thredfin herring, pilchards, and sardines. Our journey takes us south to Miami in search of enough bait to bring home and pen up for future fishing trips. We hope you learn a few new tips and techniques that you can apply on your next bait fishing excursion!

You have great videos. I live in Islamorada . Keep the videos coming .
Thank you!
I never saw bait-catching presented so dramatically.
I agree with the music but what’s your take on this video? ua-cam.com/video/-iWJXZYS1Bo/v-deo.html
Reallllly enjoyed this style of vid Jamie!! Do more vids with you and the family on your boat please!
Thanks for the feedback Chris! Love getting out with the boys!
This are great. Please continue with this videos
Thanks for the feedback Eduardo!
You got another subscriber, well made video, I predict you will have a very succesful youtube channel.
Today we caught lots of fish
i fish on the same place pompano area i m struggle to get bait over here is every thing more challenge
I do commercial videography work here in Miami, and man I’m impressed with production/editing, and overall how detailed you explain everything. Keep it up!
Great info! Thanks.
What is the floating baitwell? I have some metal livebait cages at home, but baits get beat up.
Yes, metal bait cages are much harder to keep clean as well. The floating baitwells in the video are 200 gallon chemtainers.
Great Video but might need to change the title. Didn't see much pilchards and sardine being caught. I would like to see a video specifically on how to catch them in Miami Area.
Does clarity of water matter ? I generally fish out of marathon key when I come down and seem to find them better where the water is murkier , inlets , cuts etc . Haven’t had much luck out trying for bait fish out on patch reefs. Early mornings best? Watch for birds working ?
Hey Adam. Great questions. Yes, water clarity definitely matters. Murkier water is definitely better, which is one of the reasons that we fish for herring on the outgoing tide. And yes, early morning is typically the best because they are generally up on the surface feeding and it is easier to find them. Definitely keep an eye our for terns and yellow beaks working. If you see them diving and darting around they are probably on bait. Let us know how you do!
Hello sir How is your deck well plumbed i think you forgot to show us
Thank you!
We have two above deck fills in the transom that supply the water for the inlet in each well. The inlets are 1 1/8 inch and the over flows are 2 inches with shut off valves on the outside of the well so we can close them as needed to flood out the well and pressurize it so there's no sloshing around of the bait when running
Very Good video, Definitely a great help to all anglers learning how to proper baitfish!
Thanks Sammy!
Hey Jamie. Do you have any advice on feeding threadfins to keep them alive in your pen. Thanks
It usually takes a few days for them to settle in and start feeding. Cut up small pieces of fish like bonito, king or anything really. Good processors are great to chop up bait too. Start by introducing bait slowly a couple times a day until they start feeding good. The next step would be dry food that you can buy at most tackle shops and slowly get them adjusted to that so you don’t have to feed fish all the time.
Great video. Thanks. 1) how big the weight/sinker you are using? I believe it's very important. 2) it will be great if you can show a video how to set up the floating bait pen at your dock. It's big headache for most of us. The growth will sink the bait pen and hurt the bait fish. Thanks!
Weight size varies based on depth and current but 1/2 oz to 1 oz is the norm. We can definitely do a video on how to build and set up a bait pen!
@@fishbluewater great. Thanks. Just followed.
Where can I catch bait in Miami now? I only ever see ballyhoo at bent range rarely anything else. I also see cigars every once in a while.
It can change daily based on water conditions, current, etc. Look for the tide edges on out going tide inside and outside the inlet. Often times you will mark bait and catch it on the tide line. The patch reefs in 20 to 30 feet of water just north of the cut and further north to the double diamonds hold thredfins and other bait at times as well
@@fishbluewater ok thanks what are the double diamonds? Kind of new to catching bait but whenever I catch I always catch fish offshore so I’m trying to get better.
great vid!!!
Chris C!!!
Excellent video Jamie! Love the new boat!
Thanks Bruce!
This was an awesome video. Keep it up with this style of video!
Thanks Nate. Appreciate your feedback. Will do!
What type transducer were you using?
Airmar B275
Great video
Im in deerifled/pompano area, where can I catch bait at? please help thanks.
nice video good job very helpful
Great to hear!
You mentioned the 200 gallons chemtainers , where can I get them?
Tank Depot in Pompano Beach
Threadfins, also known as greenbacks
Awesome baitvideo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Where do you purchase these large bait wells?
Tank Depot in Pompano Beach
Thanks for the info 😎😎😎
No problem 👍
What bait and hook setup are you using ?
We are fishing with fluorocarbon hayabusa sabiki rigs. Hook sizes are 4, 6 and 8 but 8 is the best all around size
Green or red?
Would recommend green
Underrated ass channel
Good info. Thanks
Very very nice video keep up the good work Buddy👍
Thanks
More fishing on the Whaler! Awesome channel
Thanks for the feedback. We intend to fish more on Encore Light 👍🏻
Bad ass intro
Thanks!
You can see the air space at 7:38 on that livewell. It’s the position of your overflow drain and size of pump that will eliminate any air space. Creating an air tight seal on your livewell is just producing more head pressure on your pump.
If the lid is not pressurized you will never completely seal the well and have sloshing that destroys the bait
And too much water pressure in a well is not good for scaled baits either
Don't label your video as being about pilchards if you can't catch pilchards
Lol. We know how to catch pilchards. The technique is very much the same as catching thredfin and many times you can catch them in the same areas. Just not on this day. Will do one catching pilchards for you in the future 😉
